the exhaust would be fine! lol


I think its aboput 10 inces from the turbo to prevent damage to the sensor, the same goes for a lambda probe. Please correct me if im wrong.

depends what you want to measure

depends on the sensor (thermocouple) material on how high a temp. that they can withstand.

i have one in each of my manifold runners before the turbine, and one in the downpipe after it. they are made from inconel and can take 1200 deg. c
