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
