Todd,

Thanks.  The picture helps as well as the drilling tip.  I didn’t realize that they were that hard, so that will definitely help.  I saw Bill’s email about having them centered in the exhaust tube, and it appears that with you locations, they meet that criteria as well. 

 

Thanks,

Steve Brooks

 

 

Hi Steve;
    I did this back in 2004, so I just included a link to my original post.

In order to drill through the manifold I had to use a grinder to cut a small flat spot and get through the surface hardening. Then it drilled easily. I tapped the holes and used a modified compression tube fitting (drilled out shoulder in fitting so 1/4" tube from TC could slide right through).
It works very well.

I need some advice on adding EGT problems in my stock turbo manifold.  I didn’t monitor EGT before, but now while adding the EM3, I want to add EGT.  Is there a preferred location in the manifold to drill to install the probes, and also is it best to add a weld bung, or just tap the hole in the manifold, as it is fairly thick.
