Exhaust/Pyro ??

Just recieved my 4" exhaust and found out that it doesn't have a bung welded in the downpipe for a pyro. I havn't ordered a pyro yet but want to install the exhaust this weekend and would like to weld in the bung while I have it on the floor. What thread size bung do I have to get? Thanks

i dont know, but most will recommend putting it in the exhaust manifold, before the turbo. that is more accurate. you got the EGT gauge to monitor the engine, not the turbo temps.

Another vote for mounting the thermocouple PRE-turbo! It's more accurate, and shows changes in temps faster too.

Just instally your downpipe the way it is!

Pre-turbo!

Either in the exhaust manifold by drilling and tapping it, or in the uppipe coming off the manifold going to the turbo, by drilling/clamping it on.
