2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Pyro Probe Location

Have both pre and post probes but the post is pretty much useless. I don't even use it to monitor shut down temps, so I voted pre.

I'm just curious about this one... Where is everyone running their pyro probe? Before of after the turbo? I think it should always be in the manifold, but hey, thats just my opinion.

I had the same problem so off to talk to the big guys who fix the big one. The answer I got is. The probe cannot burn off and go through the turbo if it mounted after the Turbo Good Luck

A probe also cant burn off and go through a turbo PRE turbo either. If the temp gets hot enough to melt a probe, your turbo would be destroyed anyhow (Most likley your engine would be toast too). I spent 3 years working on $70,000 turbos mounted in diesel locomotives that all had probes PRE turbo.

Originally it was post but when I installed my 14cm2 turbo I drilled the exhaust manifold and put 'er there.

Happy trails

Both...

... gauge pre, turbo shutdown monitor post.

In the manifold, pre turbo and I must say the Westach probe/gauge combo seems to be very responsive. Jim G.

Pre turbo and a gage you must absolutly have. I figured that anybody that didn't have one would have to be a Ford or Chev owner. Right behind that has to be a trans temp.
