Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) pyro

Well, I got a new set of gauges. Where is the best place to put the pyro to measure EGTs?

Put it in the exhaust manifold, pre-turbo. Excellent install instructions here.

Be Careful

Those are fantastic instructions above... Remember to find a FLAT part of the manifold, or you'll spend forever and a day trying to start the brass fitting into the new threads (I learned the hard way).



Everybody's got an opinion on whether to pull the turbo or not... I pulled it, and when I did, found a bad gasket on the oil drain tube that I wouldn't have found any other way. It comes off in about 15 minutes if you decide to go that way, and you won't have to worry about what shavings a magnet might miss. You can also 'feel' the threads and brass fitting from the inside to make it as smooth as possible.



Good luck!

LJHagen,

I've heard a lot of pros and cons about that, and I've seen a few turbos that have sucked a speck of metal thru them. Not a lot left. I think I'll pull the turbo..... Thanks for the reality check. . and the trick about the flat spot... .
