While waiting for it to peak, you will run out of road. Also drilling a hole in the stock exhaust maniford for the probe may cause a boost leak if you drill through the double walled section.

I got my sensors here http://www.exhaustgas.com/ , visited their plant and can highly recommend them. Custom shapes and cable lengths are possible.

There is only one prroper installaton on a steel tube header turbo car.
That is a weld in type k nipple.
Clamp on will leak, especially with the high backpressure #6 turbine housing - and drill and tap is no good because the steel is too thin.
On a cast manifold, it is easy - drill and tap with 5/16 and 1/8 (27) NPT. 5 minutes.
All 4 of mine on the 951 are welded on 1 inch from the head.
Also - know that modern type K's are VERY fast. EGT's are not slow anymore.
The new type K on my International diesel goes from 325 to 800 just climbing my driveway in 3rd gear. That is fast.

1) Fast response. Fast enough to detect a single misfire. The tip is exposed and therefore has a limited lifetime (a few years??)
2) Regular response. The tip is enclosed in the 3/16" stainless steel housing and should last the lifetime of the car. In my installation I would estimate the response time to be 50F/sec, which should be more than adequate.

I'm running a WBO2 and 3 K-type tcouples. Turbo out, intercooler out, and one in the test port. I think it reads just fine. I get the overall idea what the EGT is doing. I range from 1400 to 1600 in moderate to full throttle boost. It's accurate enough to show me richness when I misfire (another post about that was going). It's a cheap way to place a gauge in the car and works well unless you need each port read.
I'll toss up a tech session and look up the place I got the t-couples from at some point soon. I have the receipt at home and can get you the PN's. Pack of 5 was like $80 and the stainless bungs are a few bucks each. Pretty cheap,

What do you have them connected to to get your readings?

I'm running the 2A1 wideband logger. It has three thermocouple and three 0-5V inputs that can be logged along with WBO2 and RPM.

That looks the business - I wish the AEM could log additional inputs. I need a cheap way of interfacing thermocouple and 0-5v inputs to my laptop.
