RE: I dont think I can do it.
Post turbo will read atleast 300*less than pre turbo. You have to be careful. Pre Turbo you ideally want to keep it under 1250 for constent temp. Short burst up to 1450* is ok. AndI really mean short, few seconds. So post turbo I would not go any higher than 8-900*. The Juice w/ Attitude has you put the pyro pre turbo w/ the safety paremeters set that way.. Doesn't mean you can't put it post turbo. Everyone will have a prefernce on this. Not a right or wrong way. Just remember the temp difference between pre & post turbo.

RE: I dont think I can do it.
I pulled the down pipe and installed the probe there so I can use it with the turbo timer. So far the highest temp I have seen was 850 degrees. That was pulling 5K lbs up a 4% grade passing a Ford at 85 MPH with the Juice on level 3. Luckily the ambient air temp was only about 60, so I think that helped keep the EGTs down.
I am also planning on putting in a pyro guage in the manifold, just for my own piece of mind.

RE: I dont think I can do it.
mine is on the top of manifold. just had it done the other day. they drilled vacummed then tapped it. they put grease on the tap to hold the particles. Ive put 300 miles on it since. Just do it. Im more afraid of dying than tappin a whole in my ex manifold. Just go for it.

RE: I dont think I can do it.
I just installed my edge with attitude last friday. At first I was a little scared to drill into the manifold butI finally was brave enough and use grease whenI drilled it and put some on the tap thenI took my magnet though the whole whenI was done and it pulled a bunch of pieces out thenI vacuumed it and then started it up so it would blow out the remaining pieces had no problems doing this. The only thingI had problems with was my drill was to big to put it back far enough soI used a right angle drill to get it whereI wanted it to go. I love the finished product just wish i could puff a little bit more black smoke. I won't take it over level 3 though with the stock tranny.

Maybe you should rebuild the engine first.[sm=insomnia.gif]Sorry could not resist after seeing your reply to the guy with the squeeky belt.
Tell ya what I got an 07 in my driveway, that if the pillar mount shows up this week I will drill holes in mine to make you feel better. (actually I already called the dealer and asked them about installing gauges and they said that should be ok so long as I dont install any sort of programmer, and made sure to tell me that DODGE COULD TELL.
if you are that worried, drill the hole, install the gauge, and start watching e-bay for a used manifold...buy it, if anything ever happens, swap manifolds
