You're right Clint, I did not make that very clear, If your pyro is pre turbo then those are about the readings you would see. POST turbo would be less, unless the banks guage has been recalibrated.

If it were me, I would slap a band clamp over that hole in the downpipe and drill and tap the manifold.

I agree... Then you know at a glance exactly what temps you are getting.
