Alternate EGT placement for Attitude

I already have a full set of gauges, but i got a great deal on and juice attitude combo, just wondering where everyone else would mount the attitude pyro. I was thinking post turbo, what do you guys think.

Couldn't you just bolt it into the existing pyrometer? In effect, splicing it? They would both read the same, but it would save you from drilling again. I'm not sure why post turbo readings would be necessary.

Plus the attitude has alarms that you can set so you know if you are above XXXX degrees without looking. You may want it pre-turbo.

I am adding gauges this week so my Attitude will move to post turbo, down tube. I know it has alarms but I would rather the mechanical gauge be in the manifold. I trust mechanical more.

I would just put both of them in the manifold. I don't really se the point of post turbo myself I would rather know what the engine temp is closer to the piston. you will know if the attitude is accurate that way and set the defueling accordingly.

people say they don't trust the attitude this would be a good way to see if that is valid or not.

The back 3 cylinders are hotter than the front. I have my fast (and expensive) comp. autometer pyro monitoring the back 3, and the tst monitoring the front 3.
