EGT Probe

Does anybody have an idea where the best place to install an egt probe on a 08 6.4l ?
I just recieved my Edge with a dpf delete option, and it suggests installing the probe to monitor egt temperature. Is there already a spot to do this or do I have to drill and tap the manifold somewhere. I'm sure it is common with all the racing tunes that people are installing.
Thanks for the help

I'm not too familiar with Edge, but I thought it would pick up the sensor that is already installed on the truck. I know the DashDAQ just uses the Ford sensor and picks up the reading from the OBD2 port.

I'm not sure why they wouldn't do that, but the dealer I bought this through also sold me the egt probe and told me I needed it. I just installed the tuner today but I thought I should monitor the egt's.

The DPF delete pipe should have a number of ports to install the factory sensors, you could use one of those and leave a factory sensor off maybe? Not sure why it needs its own probe, there are three different factory EGT probes along the exhaust.
