Put your EGT probe in your manifold at the collector for best results. I'm using a VDO setup.
Tapping into the exhaust manifold before the turbo is the best location for an EGT probe. The temp drop across the turbo is both large and variable so a probe after the turbo is sub optimal. You want to be getting the info about temp as it happens before the turbo. Not much use having the news after the turbo has already seen the temp for a time before the gauge reports it to you and you react.
Exactly like above. There's lots of information on this and it's best to remove the manifold entirely in order to tap NPT threads into it. It can be done in place but I didn't like the idea of metal shavings going through the turbo. I run Autometer gauges in a pillar pod.
Drilling cast iron gives shavings like sand. I had no hesitation at all in drilling my own manifold. I drilled a small pilot hole and then slowly increased the size of the drill until the hole was tapping size. You can also coat the drill with a bit of grease to catch cuttings if you want. I filled the flutes of the tap with grease while tapping the hole.. there was very little swarf to collect.
If you were really worried you could drop the turbo a bit and stick a sheet of cardboard in the gap. Removing the manifold especially on the 1HD-T motor is not a small job and you will need new gaskets to refit it.

Isspro EV2 series last I checked. Owned a few of them and will be buying them again.
Do it in your manifold it’s way more accurate.
Do it in place, no need to take it off not to mention drill it out when the engine is running to push anything through the turbine. Grease the bit that also helps.
I’ve done 2 trucks with zeros issues this way.
