ive looked for thread on installing a pyro. to no prevail. where is the best spot for the sensor to go.ive been told 1-2 inches past turbo on downpipe?

Pre-turbo is best. Do a search on the Hoot method but the place to do it is in the exhaust manifold on the passenger side.

Install your pyro probe about 1.5 - 2inches before the flange on your exhaust manifold.

whats your ave. temp. reading? should i get 1600 or 2000 deg meters?

I am running the Predator 2.02 on the 65 hp tune and I will see 1200 when I get on it hard. Of course that is unloaded... With you running the VA I would imagine you would see more heat. 1600 gauge would seem to be enough cause if you are running over 1400-1450 for any extended period of time you are going to damage your turbo.

I've seen anywhere from 700-1800*. I would go with the 2000* gauge

Unless you are running a truck with extensive mods (larger turbo, larger injectors, amped injection pump) AND doing a lot of dragracing or sled pulling you should go with the 1600 pyro. It will give you better resolution in the "normal" range of 300 - 1000 degrees where you will spend 99% of your operating time. Temps over 1600 are dangerous and are only experienced for short periods of time really maxed out in racing or pulling.

thanx guys. this forum is the bomb.
