Default Need info on a pyrometer .
I want to buy a pyrometer to help me on the tunning of my turbo. I need to know if it's possible to install it on a STD manifold

If someone did it, please explain hoe you did it?

Or you can use the o2 sensor bung on the manifold, and relocate your o2 sensor.

ok so you only drill a hole put the pyrometer

Do you think it is a good idea for tunning a turbo setup?

that isnt my setup, but I assume he just drilled and tapped it for the correct thread pitch.

I have never used one, but I have heard great things about them when tuning.

ok because i have a ---- A/F and i think i'm too rich but on it, it seem to be correct so i want to buy one of this.

Do you think i can drill and tap the hole in place or i need to remove the manifold?

Thanks

well unless you want all the debris and metal chunks going down into your turbo.. You might want to remove it to do it correctly..

a egt will be more accurate then any ofthe a/f gauges but like i said before do not use it as a reference for tuning your car

Boosted:

Can you explain why? I would think that the importance of stoich. would be a priority in tuning any vehicle, turbo or not.

Are you saying this meaning get the reading form something else? Or disregard the reading? If you want the reading from something else, what do you recommend?

Personally, since I have done the EcuControl chipping to my PM6, he's (Mike http://www.ecucontrol.com) will be adding a A/F gauge where the reading comes directly from the ECU. Meaning, the ECU, which will control the flow of fuel in the end ANYWAY, is giving you the reading it thinks is correct.

Would you recommend that as a good source?
