South man Member 31 Member For: 11y 4m 5d Posted 26/11/15 04:54 AM Share Posted 26/11/15 04:54 AM Hey guys, Im taking the ute in to get the temperature probe sensor welded into my dump pipe, the exhaust is already fitted to the ute and I was wondering do I need to worry about any swarf/metal filings going into the dump pipe, my way of thinking is being after the turbo I shouldn't have anything to worry about? All they need to do is drill about a 10mm hole and weld the fitting in place.Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/91423-exhaust-gas-temperature-probe/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the best place for them is before the turbo, but I'm not bothering doing it in the manifold. Just going to be in the dump pipe.

Unless you're running a probe per exhaust port it's not going to deliver any useful information.
