Hello all! Still new to this, but my question is where is the best place to mount a egt probe. Does it really matter if it’s in front of or behind the turbo? Reason I ask is that I was told drill in the manifold, but my 5” exhaust down pipe on back of turbo has a plug already in it, that I was as wondering what it’s for ever since I ordered it from grand rock stacks? Thanks in advance for any help!!! Hope I posted in right spot? It is a 6.0

Drill and tap driver side exhaust manifold from under the truck towards the back before it makes the bend towards the up pipe.

10-4 that’s what I’ve seen all over the internet, and probably where it will get mounted. I was just really curious as to what the plug is for 4-5” behind turbo in exhaust pipe? Looks to be the same size as probe nut? I can try and put a pic if need be?

It can go either place. Only after the turbo will read 300* cooler than the exhaust manifold will read. You need to know what the piston temp is and that would be at the exhaust manifold.
