Thanks for the helpful feedback Bobby.
Do you or anyone else have real time on a Renesis with the stock manifold with EGT's?

Probe position / orientation for rotor 2, rear rotor is limited. I think mounting it on the bottom is about the only option with the stock manifold. The inner tubes float so drill a large enough hole to allow for the movement. Weld the fitting to the outer shell.
