Installing a Exhaust Temp/Pyrometer in FORD 6.0L

My dad and I are installing three guages in my truck (Pyro/Exhaust Temp, Trans Temp and Boost)... Has anyone done this? My question is, where in the manifold should the hole be drilled for the Pyro? This is a picture that I found online... Does that look right?

The safe spot is right behind the turbo... But remember ya will be reading approx 300 f lower than the actual temp !... I will send ya pics of mine if ya like.

Please send picks.... The guys at unlimited performance recommend in the manifold, but only said on the drivers side near the back... I guess it must be more acurate... What makes it safer behind the turbo?

Re: Installing a Exhaust Temp/Pyrometer in FORD 6.0L

Probes have been know to dislodge, burn break,brittle etc...... Then get your Visa out ! IMOP. Just remember there is a temp difference & you will be safe.... One would not push her to melt down point anyways ! My add on does not allow me to that anyways ! Hey lets talk thru PM or phone.

Re: Installing a Exhaust Temp/Pyrometer in FORD 6.0L

Mine is right off the manifold and I think I've burned out the probe, unless you think my truck really idles at 1700 degrees and goes down the highway at 50 degrees.
I would still follow the recomendations and put it close the manifold.

Mines in the manifold too. But then again i own a dodge. But the most accurate reading is from in the manifold.it will vary from 250*F to 400*F for temp difference.

Hey 'Catuki'.... I don't fully understand what you said...... Your probe is in the exhaust manifold, Most accurate reading. Got that part.
The last part bout temps difference. It will vary 250-400 temps from WHERE
?

Well it will vary from going pre turbo and post turbo. your pre turbo reading is the most accurate and the post turbos is one that will be out some. I have 2 egt probe holes for my truck. I have one in the manifold and one in my exhaust brake and with my chip set the same pre turbo i see about 1100*f and post turbo i was seeing around 850*F. about 250*F temp difference. Depending on the truck, it can vary in the temps as i dont know fords or chevys very well.

Thks.... Got it. That's what I said a few posts above ! Kind of thought that what ya was saying, Just wanted to be sure ! Mind is POST TURBO.... I know where I am at for temp with some satisfaction knowing a harpoon will not take out the turbine.
