E.G.T sensor

[rs250nut]

Where abouts on the mainfold should I be putting the egt sensor? Ive not got the sensor in my hands at the mo but it should be here from stack by the end of the week, whats are the hottest temps I should be seeing?

i have put mine just before the turbo into the manifold.

Is the sensor a simalar size to a lambda probe?

i run vems afr/egt gauge and my sensor has just knackered up(my own fault:crap:),so i went to order one and didnt realise there were 2 types n/a sensor/turbo sensor the turbo sensor is wayy thicker:eek: and its advised not to run n/a sensor on a turbo car as it can break off:scared:http://www.vems.co.uk/VEMSWB/UserGuide/README.html



my dad runs 4 egt probes on his turbo 2 there mounted right next to the exhaust ports (hottest part)

I like it, so he can monitor each cylinder exhaust temp to help identify any problems?

that was the idea:) it will also show if one of the water injection jets gets blocked as hes running a jet per cylinder on the inlet:cool:
