Depends what you want to measure.. Technically you want it before the turbine, so you can measure the turbine inlet temperature.. but some people are worried about TC probes breaking and damaging turbos (never seen it personally).. If you put it after the turbo you have to factor in the temperature drop across the turbo.. So perhaps you could measure it before and after and then remove the pre-turbo sensor if you're worried about breakage.. at least then you KNOW the drop across the turbo

It's set up with lambda and egt to start with so egt is then just a safeguard, after turbo is fine, and where mine is going, Reylan dis out of them but have now tracked own part numbers and price(£113).

but EGT is not a safeguard in my understanding as you might think that the temperature going down indicates safe mixtures and conditions, but it does not necessarily

It's a damn sight safer than a lambda as it reacts so much quicker.
Once set up unless other factors alter, this will give the earliest warning of anything amiss engine/fuelling wise.

I don't think you can really rely on any one sensor, be it lambda or temperature.. both can mislead you, it's what you do with all of the sensors and your own knowledge that counts!

You are entitled to your opinion as everyone else is, you stand more chance of being correct than I do, but you are not always correct, that's the good thing about opinions, it is just that.

Read what is written about using the forum then, views expressed are just that, views ie opinions, the same with any forum, nothing is a cast iron gaurantee.
The person I trust will be doing my mapping/s so this is a bit irrelevant anyway now.
