Can I mount my EGT sensor in the DP...I'd rather not tap my FR mani

 

Then why have an EGT gauge?

Very pointless if you search a little

 

the dp wont reach more than 500 degrees,

 

hate to say i told ya so tye

Thats a lie.

My EGT is in the DP and I reach 1100f on the freeway and ~1300f at WOT in 4th gear.

Huh?, Not at all. Infact that's far from the truth.

 

just drill and tap it, or get it done. My FR mani has two egt taps, one for the autometer gauge and one for my AEM datalogging

The one for the datalogging is a little farther from the head then i would like, but still within 5 inches

 

Downpipe will not be too accurate...

The turbocharger is a huge heatsink... All the heat will mostly be used to propel the turbo, and whatever comes out of the downpipe will not be the actual EGT reading.

Then why bother getting an EGT gauge if you will be getting lower readings? It gives you a false sense of security IMO. You can still install it at the DP, but only to use it for a vague monitor mainly to detect sudden changes of EGT.
