Pyrometer Probe
I had a garage install my pyro probe the other day. I didn't look at it till I got home and they installed it post turbo. I called them about it and they said that where they installed it the temp. reading is the same as pre turbo. Can this be correct? I have a 2001 Dodge 2500 Diesel with auto. I have Autometer gauges.

Wrong. The temps will be 3-400 degrees lower post turbo. You could have them put a brass pipe plug in the hole they drilled and have them redo it pre-turbo. I sure would.

Sometimes it may not even be 100 degrees.
Other times it's well over 500°.
Post turbo isn't that much better than none at all, because by the time it shows dangerous temps, the damage is done.
