Has anyone fitted one to a 3ltr turbo Hilux? Where does it fit and how difficult is it to fit?

Yes I have emailed him. He responded quickly. I looked at the
beaudesert exhaust I have fitted and it has a bolt where an EGT gauge can be fitted.

In the Troopy- I have the pyrometer in the exhaust aft of the turbo. Coz there was a 'plug' (1/4" BSP) already there. Required a 1/8"BSP adaptor to install.

I am currently researching the same mod and note this information on the Thermoguard website re installation
Insatllation upstream or downstream???
It apopars that one is better than the other as far as recording the tempetaure at the correct place but on eis easier than the other as far as fitting the sensor.

In my opinion- the EGT gauge is a 'monitor' only. It's not the type of thing you would look at all day. It just gives an indication of varying exhaust gas temps. under different conditions. I don't think it would matter if it's mounted before or aft of the turbo (even though readings would be different).
Like a barometer at
home, I don't look to see the actual pressure- just if there's a rise or fall !!
