hey would it be a good place to put the EGT probe in the exh housing in that high spot in the last pic?

I wouldnt. If I were you, when you do the install do this. Take off the Y-pipe, so your truck is open exhaust manifolds. You have to do this for the turbo install anyways. Then drill and tap the exhaust manifold for the thermocoupler. Then just start your truck up and rev it up a bit, sounds real good . Then go along with your install. It only takes 20 minutes to drill and tap an exhaust manifold like this, it isnt to hard.

does it matter which side? yea i did that when i had it uncapped taking the tranny out, it woke up my parents about 100yrds away in their bedroom and i had the doors shut on the shop too!!

shouldnt matter witch side on my hypermax turbo its on the passenger side if it were me i would have liked it on the drivers side

Like the others have said, put the pyro probe PRE-TURBO. You loose temp the further you move away from the exhaust valves and after the turbo the error is significant......probally 200-500 degrees or so.

I would put it in the drivers side, its easier to get at the exhuast manifold. Thats where we put mine during the turbo install.

alright thanks guys! i have been thinking about having my manifolds coated along with my turbo up pipes, aside from being just cool looking, will i gain any exhaust volocity, will it be worth doing? the company that did my turbo charged $50 per housing piece, so i would think it would be about the same for a ehx. manifold.
