I hope this is a good place for this next question: I have noticed that some put the probe after the turbo, on the downpipe. That way, in case something on the probe breaks, it's not likely to run through the turbo and wreck it. However, it's further away, and therefore, less accurate. I have seen it placed on the manifold, where the most accurate reading is taken. However, Why place it on one port? Can't the exhaust ports vary a few degrees? Perhaps one cylinder is running a little hotter then the next? Where is everyone putting theres, and why?
