Yup.  The mitsu guys generally move the probe to measure from the #1
runner, but that engine is set up so that #1 always goes lean first unless
there's a cylinder-specific failure.  Don't know that I'd try that in my
5k...

I'm actually looking toward a dual gauge myself.

Agree.  Also, the amount of heat the turbine will extract seems like it
would vary quite a bit, so it'd be hard to correct the reading for the
turbo effect.
