I was wondering if you guys with the edge and attitude put the EGT probe in yourself? If you didnt where did you go, i just dont feel comfortable drilling into the manifold myself. anyone in the chicago area that might be willing to help me out?

My dealer did it for me.

It's not so bad, really. I installed the probe for my Isspro A-pillar gauge in the passenger side. I installed my probe for the Attitude in the bottom of the driver's side. The cast iron of the manifold is really soft and easy to drill (small hole first, then the correct bit for your tap). The trickiest part is the tapered pipe tap in the thin manifold. Take your time, back it off to cut the chips often and DO NOT go deeper that about 1/2 to 2/3 up the tap. All in all, it takes about 30 minutes to do the job slowly and carefully.

Did it myself using the HOOT METHOD. No big deal.
