On the 2nd gens its easy. With the way this new manifold is designed wheres everyone putting it? right on the #6 exhaust part of the manifold? Pics? Thanks!

I have seen them all over the exhaust manifold. Some put them in the down section going to the turbo. Needs to be off center as there is a baffle in the middle. Mine are installed on top between cyl 3 and 4. I now have two there about an inch and a half apart. Most say the back 3 cyls are hottest so maybe it would be better to monitor that exhaust section, but mine work fine for me. Picture of the first one.

JVolpe, did you remove the manifold to drill and tap? If so any tips?



Thanks,

I have some pix of my location in my gallery. Mine is in the down section. I used the magnet trick and left the manifold on. This is the second one I did that way. No problems with either install.

I had Hot Rod Diesels install my first one a few years back. It was my first diesel and I figured experience was worth it, based on my friend MURPHY always being around. They did drop the turbo from the manifold on my first one, but I don't think they would do it that way now. Actually Michael did the second one also when he installed the SPS66, that would have made it a lot easier to do. The grease and magnet seems to be working well for everyone.

thanks for the pics guys I think im going to try to get it in the downsection for the rear cyl's like bighornram.

The magnet worked well for me but I went a bit farther. Took the shop vac, some air line from a fish and duck tape and sucked out the remaining trash. Dont think I needed to go that far but it made me feel better when all was said and done.

drilled and taped mine with the EB on and in between 3 and 4. Wow. You will need a face shield and leather gloves.

I've read that Banks installs pyros with the engine at idle. Supposedly blows the shavings out the exhaust with no damage to the turbo. I went the magnet route and installed it just like the pic in the second post. If I had it to do again, I would drill and tap on the bottom side of the #6 cylinder and route the line behind.
