Re: Best place to mount EGT sensor for Attitude?

I believe most people mount the probe on the drivers side exhaust manifold (always pre-turbo). There are a couple of threads on this, complete with pictures. I think most people set it at 1300 degrees, but there also threads about this, claiming that Attitude reads about 100 degrees off to the high side. You may want to do a search on this and do some reading and than make your decision.

That's corect. Install it pre-turbo in the drivers side exh. manifold. This will give you the most accurate readings and allow the module to work at its full potential. After turbo readings will always be higher and will effect the performance of how it works.

If all be true that I do think, there are five reasons we should drink: good wine, a friend, or being dry, or lest we should be by and by; or any other reason why.

Remember, you can't buy a good time...................but you can still rent me.
