Yea, I realize that it won't be in the most desirable location, but
it is the best I can do at this point. I am using the stock 1 piece
exhaust manifold which I haven't removed from the engine. If
I were to try and sample the exhaust gas temps using this
manifold, I don't know where to install the sensor, since the
design of this manifold keeps the runners from all 5 cylinders
divided into 3 channels until it meets the turbo, so at most the
temps will you read are from only 2 cylinders.
