The EM2 manual explains how to make your own thermocouples from=20 thermocouple
wire. The EGT sensor I have came with a Westach = instrument,=20 but basically
it's just a thermocouple wire hooked to a bolt = (probe) which=20 is held in the
exhaust stream by a clamp around the exhaust pipe = with a=20 hole for the bolt.
I'm not sure where you could put a second sensor = in a=20 turbo installation
unless you drilled the cast manifold. I added a = second=20 sensor on the turbo
heat shield.
