Been bombing around this forum for ideas/answers, and thought about deleting/unplug'n the epb sensor and tube. Found out, just to delete the tube, plug the hole at manifold and leave/ziptie the sensor, plugged to wire harnes, outta the way. Since i've already drilled/tapped the manifold for my egt probe, was wondering, if future egt installers, can do the same (delete the epb tube) and use the port hole, where the tube was once was, for a spot for the probe?

That might work, never thought of that.
I put mine in the manifold right after #8 cylinder.

That would work just fine, but the only down side is the length of wire run to the probe. Most gauge kits aren't going to have enough in them I don't think. Operationally though it would work just fine.

First I have heard of this idea. I put mine the same place as Dan, but that is a really good idea you have.

I still dont understand why you would want to delete it since it plays a small part in fueling.
