I just ordered the Isspro Boost and Pyro from Diesel Performance Parts with the A-pillar pod mounts. Great stuff and very good price.
Thermocouple will go into the exhaust manifold, pre turbo.

Boy, you are sure wanting to stir up a can of worms with the pre/post pyro thing. Mine is post. The most important thing is to know where the danger line is for pre and where it is for post. It does not really matter pre or post as long as you know that.

plus, i have never seen where any manufacture or diesel performance company reccomends installing the probe post turbo

Mine is installe pre-turbo, and at idle, I run around 400*. I don't think I have ever seen lower than that unless it wasn't running. I just thought that was normal. Did I make a poor assumption?

I noticed in the pic above that you tapped your pyro in and that got me thinking. I used the bandstrap (glorified hoseclamp) that came with my guage kit to hold my pyro in, any cons in my actions.

ok if I mount it pre turbo it only monitors one side... a pic I saw was in the left bank what about the right bank......I guess that is why I was thinking post turbo because it would be more of an average....just a thought

Pre turbo.
up to a 450* difference in the pre vs post temp. I have a link if anyone wants to argue that number.
ambient air temp, boost, engine speed, load, air filter quality, exhaust system. all play a roll in the post turbo temps. so many variables to know a "safe number" you wanna protect your alluminum alloy pistons, not your turbo fins.
alluminum melts @ 1250* stainless steel alloy turbo fins, melt at @ 2200* or more.
Internatiol installs all pyro's PRETURBO on the tractors, how is your IH engine any different. food for thought.
If you put it in the left side, you will know LONG before the pyro tells, you if there is a problem on the right side.

ok i gota question it might be a lil off subject but i reacently called a diesel peroformance shop that i had ordered parts from before and asked about egt and that i was not able to stay in to it very long before it hit 1200 then i would back out of it i was wanting to run at the local strip one night and was wondering about other mods to keep temps done and this is what he told me that he had a 02 i think and it has seen 1800* from time to time he told me that runing around at the 1300 mark for short periods of time would not hurt anything and i was just wondering everbodys opinion on this i have seen mione hit 1300 twice because it climbed faster than i could keep my eye on it.
