#4310, "RE: drilling the exhaust manifold for the egt..?" In response to In response to 0
I would really tap the hole for the EGT with the manifold off of the car. I stuffed up the runners with rags and drilled the hole. Doing it with the manifold on the car may be perfectly safe, but with a new and very expensive turbo, I wouldn't take any chances. I was very paranoid with my new turbo because I spent all of my free cash on it (I was eating mac+cheese for a while after that).
