    Tapping Wagner cast manifold for EGT

    Who's running an EGT sensor (or 5) on a Wagner RS2 Evo or SQ Evo cast manifold? I'm concerned about wall thickness and cracking. Anyone got any BTDT?

        I've had one EGT sensor in RS2 evo manifold for about six years and some 90 000km. It's in the collector, thick wall section, I haven't checked for cracks, but I don't think there is any. There's also a bung for measuring exhaust back pressure in different place, no problems with it either.

              This K27 I have has provsion for an EGT sensor on the hot-side welded in really tidily, it's been ther for ages and no signs of cracks. I'm propably going to use this turbo with some revisisions to the Comp wheel, it's a realy interesting unit.
