Well you have a couple of potential options, the first is in the manifold just before the turbo, and the second is in the downpipe just after the turbo.

If your results are under 800 degrees, then thats a good sign IMHO, but obviously talk to your tuner about what he wants to see there.

I'm going down the anti lag route so I thought an EGT would be a good idea.
