I just followed the direct instructions on the thead that detailed how to drill the manifold with the magnet and the shop vac. It work great, no problems at all.

Is it that uncommon to have it pre-turbo? I would think that pre-turbo is the way to go. My probe is mounted between cylinders #5 and #6. The hottest I have seen is about 1250*.

I was told alot of guys have them put in post turbo in case the probe melts/breaks offit dont ruin the turbo. Has any one else heard this. I would think the probes are pretty high quality materials and wouldnt melt or break unless really hot.

By the time that probe broke of or melted, your exhaust valves and turbo fins would have long since dissintegrated.
