Pineapple Racing Hi-temp Dual EGT gauge kit
Alright done, you need a 1/8-27 NPT tap, 1/4" and letter S drill bits, punch, hammer, Drill, Vise (highly recommended) and a steady hand. When you tap only go a 1/8" past the inner surface for proper fit up.

Sorry, the GB is now over. We still sell them at the normal price of $249 for the kit, through our we site. PineappleRacing.com Online Store
As for the Inconel manifold, Inconel is a nickel-based "super alloy". Pain in the butt to work with. Your manifold is obvioulsy tubular and not cast, so you should drill a hole for each probe and use the provided tube clamps.

- Continuous Operating Temperature Range: -55 to 1100°C / -67 to 2000 °F
- No limit to useful life
Yea right, ...1500 miles and they're both dead! Time to replace them already. Unfortunately, there are not exactly the most easy thing to get out. I'll have to wait until later this year.
One reads 0 ohms and the other 5.8 ohms. Very odd.

If they failed after 1500 miles, it is a defect or some other problem (broken wire, shorts to ground, too much vibration). Hard to imagine two defective probes, so I would suspect another problem until everything else was ruled out.
