Ok mates, I'm finally to the point where I've got my Patrol GU 2.8 ready for my DIY projects. I've got my EGT gauge and boost gauge to wire up and install, and while I have found some great wiring posts for the gauges, I can't find anything on where to tap the EGT probe.

I've read that pre-turbo is the best place to tap for the most accurate readings, but I know many tap into the dump pipe post turbo. Can anyone give advice on the best place and way to insert the probe?

I don't want to weld a bung in since its factory exhaust and I'll upgrade it later, but it won't be for a couple of years. I'm hoping to just tap a threaded hole and insert the probe.

Open for advice. Thanks.
