Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) where to put post turbo pyro?

[johncameron]

will there be enough threads to mount my pyro post turbo on the downpipe? Does anyone have any photos of theirs installed? I want to keep my Banks box from EGT de-fueling on the dyno next week!



Any suggestions, John

It sounds like you just want to disable the defuel for a dyno run, if so why not just unhook the pyro for the run. This is assuming that you have it pre right now. Just a thought.

I have mine in the downpipe, plenty of material to drill and tap.

If you are only going to do it for a dyno run, just pull it out and put a plug in the hole for the run.

If it's anything like the TST box used with the digital gauges, then the box won't work if the pyro is not hooked up. Just a thought.

If you need pictures of installing post turbo EGT probe, take a look at the how-to I did awhile backGDOA Boost/EGT how to

Awesome Micheal! I just installed mine post turbo today and I'm surprised at how much of a difference there is between pre and post. It seems like there can be as much as 400F difference at times. I'll probably put it back pre after I do my dyno run pn monday but for sure it won't see 1300F now!

I just got home from the dyno and I put down 682TQ@1800RPM. The HP was still not up at all, 240HP max. The cool part was at 1400 I still have 645TQ. I'm really happy about the TQ but a little confused at the HP #'s. I'll try to post the graph.

O. K. here is what friend of mine did he installed pyro only 1" from turbo gasket instead of 2" from looking at pre turbo install instructions is this why I show high readings or this no problem???? and how do I fix this : plug hole and make new hole for probe?
