Hey, I'm looking for pictures of peoples EGT or pyrometer installs PRE-turbo. I found an awesome place to tap on the stock manifold, but I'm getting an aftermarket manifold pretty soon here, and want to see some good places to put my EGT sensor. Chances are its gunna be a Megan manifold, so pictures of those would be best (though most manifolds are generally the same so it doesn't really have to be a Megan picture)Detailed write ups of the process with multiple pictures would score more points.
Thanks

im going to point you in the right direction. there is a particular cylinder that runs leaner than the others. this is the runner you want the egt sensor in. the egt will show an increase in temp when the engine is lean therefore the most lean cylinder should have the sensor. search around for which runner you should put it in.

^^^Using that logic, best place to put it on is the cylinder closest to the FPR. On SRs, its the 1st cyclinder up front will be the suspect.

For me, I've welded my bung on the collector. On my current setup tho (T04S), I got the exhaust housing of the turbo tapped.

I drilled mine right into the exhaust housing on the turbo. Right below the flange to the manifold. Can't get any more direct than that.
