hey guys im gonna put my pyrometer in tomorrow and was wondering where the probe should be mounted? i know on most turbo vehicles the probe is about 2 -3 inches from the turbo exhuast inlet/outlet,but was wondering with the STS setup on my truck?

On a FMT, it is to go on the manifold, just before the flange of the turbo. But since you have an STS, I would go ahead and tap it just before the turbo. Yes--waaaaaaay back there. The purpose of the pyrometer is to monitor EGTs at the turbo. Since it is an STS truck, I would still mount it back at the turbo, versus up at the manifold.
Make sure to have a vacuum on and have the truck running when drilling and tapping for the pyrometer.

it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

#7 in the manifold....... You monitor EGT to keep from melting pistons ... not Hotparts and turbos....
I'd like to see a probe in each cylinder, just to put a number to the dreadful number 7Originally Posted by Quik
