Well since he's such a nice guy it isn't going to cost me more money, so it's really just a matter of drilling holes right? Despite my apparent happy-go-lucky attitude towards engine mods, I'm a serious engine worrier and am constantly listening, stopping, opening the hood, worrying, etc. More instrumentation means less worrying!
However I'm not sure if the multiple probes is a go. He thinks there's not enough room in my manifold to position them from looking at photos.
here's some of his explanation to me about setting it up...

Great place for a simple clamp style in the exhaust loop. To put one in each exhaust manifold pipe would be difficult since there is no place for one before it reaches the main exhaust manifold.
... The standard element length is 3/4" which about how much sticks into the exhaust stream.
... It would be cool to have a probe on each cylinder but no room in your setup to install them. I guess you could remove the manifold and tap or weld on a boss for each cylinder. Look at the screw in thermocouples we have on our website too. With the meter you would just add a switch box and then you can switch between cylinders...

Does the 3/4" sound fine? What does he mean by a "boss"? I think the single probe may be the way to go considering complication + South America != fun
These are the parts he's recommended
86255 EGT/TIT Thermocouple
46150 EGT Meter
