Ok guys, your probably thinking, not another one of these questions... lol
But my question is a bit different, due to my turbo setup. For anyone who was at SDAC15 (Edgewater) and saw my Jeep and it's setup, you will know my turbo is not mounted directly to my exhaust manifold. It is mounted on the opposite side of the motor, with about 4' of pipe connecting the two.
My question is, where is the best spot, in a setup like this, to mount the EGT probe? The gage instructions say 2" in front of the turbo exhaust inlet, which would mean in the pipe leading to the turbo. Will this give me the most accurate reading given that it is 4' away from my exhaust manifold? I was going to remove the exhaust manifold and drill a hole in it to mount the probe, thinking that the closer I keep it to the head the better, and more accurate the reading?
What are your thoughts, experience on this?
Should I mount it near the turbo, or in the exhaust manifold?
