pyrometer questions
No statements on my part, just questions. Most people put the pyro probe in the driver side manifold (for ease of access). So, if you have an injector malfunction on the passenger side, leading to a cylinder meltdown, WILL YOUR PYROMETER SEE IT? If not, why have it?

If you have an injector go on the passenger side, the probe in the driver's side won't see it. But if you have one go the motor is going to sound like crap and your mileage is going to be in the gutter. You could always run dual probes; but most folks are running a single to see how hard they're running the engine and not watching for injector issues.

if you are going to moniter for an injector you will need 8 probes. there has been talk from the epa for a few years now about using an o2 senser per a hole to moniter cyclinder outputs so Im thinking we will be there in a few years anyhow.
The best place to moniter temp imo with in 10" of the turbo on the outlet side. that will give you the most accurate temp for egt.
Lets look at the big class 8's if the manifold was the awnser dont you think they would be there as well.
