Did you drill into the dump pipe there?

[newhue]

That looks quite smart, well done. Where did you find those goodies?

[Drover]

Isn't the EGT probe suppose to be on exhaust manifold side of the turbo, to get accurate readings ?

At least that is my understanding.

Well I've got one on my other Landy it's a TD5 I've had it on both sides and apart from getting hotter quicker before the turbo after a min or so they both read the same

No just above the flange there is a little flat round spot that is quite thick its just a little hard to get to but I did manage to do it with out taking it apart

Umm, if they read the same pre and post turbo then your turbo isn't working. You get a 200+/-50oC temperature drop across a turbo.

general rule of thumb is 100deg hotter on manifold side
