Hello Paul,
What was the previous discussion on exhaust thermocouples, from memory
it was discussed not to drill the turbo manifold to install them but
to put them on the out side of the turbine.
If this is the case there is no way to monitor what is happening with
each rotor. there was also talk about monitoring around the trailing
spark plug.

Hi Don, Always a pleasure to hear from you.
I see nothing wrong with putting the thermocouples in the exhaust manifold.
Unfortunately the stock manifold is just a plenum so it is hard to get
the thermocouples close to the actual individual rotor exhaust. Hard but not impossible.
Make sure they are rated to 1800 degrees F.
