Matt,

   Yes.  I've installed EGTs for dynamometer applications involving
   Trans-Am
   engine and IRL alcohol engines.  Both installation locations were in the
   header tube just downstream of the head mounting surface.  These
   were 650 -
   700 hp engines.

   You will also need to be aware of the penetration depth into the gas
   stream
   as you do not know if the port is floor, roof or side loaded with
   airflow.

   Since you're instrumenting for a test stand only you can certainly
   vary this
   location to perform your own experiment to determine the optimum rotary
   location.

Makes sense Rick..  I guess since I am looking at whether anything would
be gained by remote mounting the turbocharger, I am most interested in
EGT starting at about 12 inches out to 6ft.  But, the issues you mention
are certainly relevant.


Regards,

Matt-

A mini P47 would be cool Matt.
