What do you base that on? There are plenty of folks on this site that have the probe after the turbo and I am not aware of there being a trend for burn downs? I base what I say off of my personal experience as a diesel mechanic, and I tend to trust the people that design engines that put down 600+ hp and charge upwards of $40,000 for an engine. Here is one more reason, your cast iron mainfold was designed to have certain holes in certain places and expand a certain way, when you start drilling holes in any cast material in a spot not intended to have a hole you weaking that casting and creat a perfect spot for a crack to start. Here's my final comment, you can put that probe where ever you want, but I am going go with where the engineers that actually know what their talking about put it.

There it is...
