I have bought a pyrometer for my HJ61, and i'm struggling to decide the best place to install it.. I want to install it pre turbo, but after removing the exhaust manifold i noticed that the front three cylinders exhaust gases are split from the rear three cylinder right up until the turbo flange.
Is it a bad idea to install the probe where it will only see half the engine's exhaust gases?
The alternative is to intall the probe at the start of the exhaust housing of the turbo, nice and close to the flange where the gases 'collect'. This worries me though as would there be too much residual heat to obtain an accurate reading?
I want to avoid a post turbo install unless it becomes the best/safest option..
What have others done?
Thanks.
