post pyro sensor location

i was just wonderign where you guys are putting your pyro sensors in to your exhaust...the easiest spot i found to drill from was from under the vehicle but i dont kno how much it matters about how far away from the turbo i am?

Why are you going post?

Pre-turbo will give you the most accurate reading, but if you are dead set on post-turbo, be as close to the turbo as possible for a more acurate reading...

i ended up putting it just below where the manifold comes out in to the pipe..i didnt think there would be that much of a big diff in the temps. but where it is i think its close to the turbo

How did you drill your post turbo Pyro?

Did you mount your post pyro by removing the down pipe? Or were you able to mount while in the vehicle? Best I could find was a 21/64" bit. Will that work ok?

Thanks

Man you'd be surprised at the difference of placement especially when the engine is under a load.

Pics are in my gallery. It was pretty easy to do by removing the passenger side plastic wheel well liner.

I put mine post turbo because of several reasons, but mostly because a) I use it mainly for shut down temp readings, and b) because I want to give DC as few excuses as possible to try to void my warranty (I'm not bombing this truck until the warranties expire).

you can do a post turbo by going underneath of the truck and it is a straight shot for the probe and youdon't need to remove anything.
