Where is the best (most accurate) location to place the EGT probe(s) on

Ok, well I guess no-one will answer your question Phil. The best place to get
EGT indications is obviously in front of the turbo so you wont see
indications of how much work the turbo is doing. Having said that it is
difficult to get a location on the turbo rotary because of the manifold to
turbo connection. I have chosen to build a different manifold for my
installation using exhaust flanges and a header style exhaust to turbo
flange. I will tap into the tubes prior to the turbo. This is only to
increase the accuracy for the adjustments  using Tracy's fuel injection
computer.

If this is not an option of building a set up for yourself then any location
aft of the turbo will at least yield some egt indications. If you chose to
use the stock turbo I will warn you that the egt's will be excessivly high
with even the mildest boost at altitude. The reason being is that the turbo
will be revving very high for output demanded!
