I appreciate the pics from both RankRam and 98720. However, cquestad is quoted as saying,
"The rear 3 cylinders have been known to run a little hotter. It is a little more awkward to mount near the turbo, but worth it in my opinion."
I agree with that and would think that if I placed the pyro on top, it would be on the rear cylinders and not as 98720 did on the front cylinders. I am open to all suggestions regarding the placement of the pyro in all three locations and the difference, if any, in the readings that each location might give.

I just did mine and I did exactly as 98720 said. I just drilled as far back as I could go and still hold the drill straight up and down. I had to shave my magnet a little to get it in the hole but it worked great other than that. I just stuck it in the hole and swept the manifold until I got no more shavings. Just don't press too hard on the drill. The manifold is pretty soft steel so you won't need much pressure.
