before the turbo has a quicker reading. they're is a nice flat spot on the drivers manifold next to the oil filter with pleanty of room to drill and tap the manifold . use grease on the drill and tap to catch the metal shavings. i just put one in last week and from the advise i researched here the installation went smoothly.

This sounds crazy but autometer doesn't know what is best for your engine. We watch EGT's for the sake of the pistons not the turbo. I was the probe close to the pistons not the turbo.

by other side do you mean after the turbo? If thats what your asking then no. After the turbo is a slower reaction time and will be 300 -500 degrees cooler under any given condition and its just not known exactly when you should figure 300 degrees or 500 degrees.
The manifold is the best place for the probe.

Don, here's a test I did with two pyros, post and pre for Tim. I think you'll find the results informative.
