Where would be the best place to drill and mount the EGT sensor?

hmmm im not sure if we have the same DP but its a DP that came with the 3" RB turboback and im sure that it came with 2 bungs..one for O2 and one was a provision for another sensor and they were right next to each other. It was plugged with a big set screw and i used that for my Greddy EGT gauge.

I just got a 3" turboback and there was only 1 bung for the O2 sensor on the DP.

On the top of the DP? Or does it really not matter?

Wow, that sucks.
The older 3" DP used to have two bungs - one for O2 and the other for EGT.

Yeah, looks like they are only doing 1 bung now.

So 1 inch to the left of the O2 bung?
