mine is pre turbo

i used to have a bent thermo couple so that it sat in the exhaust stream however it fail a little while ago

i now just a have straight probe that only just sticks in the end of the egr? plate, still pre turbo but at the end of the hole, i reckon there is about a 20c differance i.e. lower

running a 2 1/2 straight through exhaust

geez mine around 100c lower

So how did that fail ? Did it damage the turbo ? Was it a 6mm or 3mm thermocouple ?

You are the first person I have come across who has had one break
