Default install of a egt, i have a couple of questions?

1. how do i know that is going to be the right reading when i have two DP and only one probe tip?

2. if is the same temp on both DP then on which one would be better to install it?

3. for the ppl that have an egt guage, which method did you use. a)pre-existing 1/8" NPT threaded hole. b) weld fitting. c)stainless clamp method?

4. for everyone. of the three method avobe, which one would you use?

5. also what the hell is a NTP from method a?

6. the instructions say 1 or 2" from the turbo exhaust exit. now that is going to be a biatch right.

if you have any way to install this fairly easy let me know or the step it would be great

thanks everyone.

NPT = National Pipe Thread. It's pretty standard...

Default I would use method B

and I would have it welded directly behind the flange of the downpipe, about an inch behind the turbo housing.

don't you want it 1or 2" from turbo on the manifold? not the turbo exit?

Default is a pain in the ***. also is the temp on both dp the same like i said

it only brings one probe and since we have two dp, is it going to be the right reading. or even right at all

Difference in the temp reading will be negligable. DP's were hard three years ago.
