this is where my EGT probe is at. after reading, it says it should be before the turbo, but I dont see where. is this a good place for it or do I need to get one that is before turbo since it absorbs some of the energy. will I get an accurate reading from here. thanx.

I put mine near the O2 sensor ... easy to access in the front of the header flange where it meets the turbo.

am I losing too much of a reading where it is? it is secured by a hose type clamp and wont fit by the O2. I would have to upgrade to a welded bung type and remove this one. I am getting ready to do some major tuning and will be needing this thing to give me as close to acuate as I can get.

Yes ... the turbo works by extracting heat from the exhaust ... it is usually several HUNDRED degrees cooler on the downpipe side.
