Were do you mount all the gauges. With the indvidual EGT's (exhaust gas tempature) + MAF what can you tune the fuel/Air gas mixture?

Sorry I am learning!

I would speculate that most using multiple probes are using a switch to toggle between the different sources connected to a single gauge.

I use a manual switch to connect each sensor to a single gauge. I believe ST is using a “scanner” such as this .
Here is a quad display unit.
and these are the sensors I use.

Lots of posts on where the EGT probes go. What sort of values do you see?

How much of a difference in reading do people think you would get using a egt mounted at the test port?
as this is probably where i will install mine, i just want to be sure the readings i get will be accurate.

Mine is installed using the test port as shown in the pictures above. As you would expect given the different location, my EGT numbers are very different from what most people post. I have a open tip probe my typical idle temps are ~850ish with it rising quickly if I get on the throttle. Temps will rise to 1650 (I have pegged the gauge) if I get on it and quickly drop as you let off.

Agreed. After several discussions we have concluded that my probe is defective and/or damaged. A replacement will be installed shortly and I will post again in this thread.
