Were is the best place before turbo to plumb it in

in the exhaust manifold just before it connects to the turbo.
max temp 750-800c. someone mentioned exactly what they got but i can't remember. most diesel is nothing over 800c pre turbo.

just make sure probe tip is in the centre of the exhaust gas flow.

Same place for the yd25 in a d40/d22 ??

if you disconnect the egr pipe that comes off at the back of the exhaust manifold, you can put a blanking plate there and drill and tap your fitting into that blanking plate.

don't know if that's the "perfect" position for it in the manifold but i reckon its the easiest place. don't have to worry about getting swarf or anything in the manifold.

nice idea.I've got a blank in there now.its always installed pre turbo? Is that the hottest place?

egr port is not bad BUT you must make sure egt tip actually reaches into manifold.
i had one of mine to short. difference between short and long was 100c.
