Reason for asking is that I'd like to have an egt sensor, but I'm not thrilled about drilling holes in my extractors.

Reason for asking is that I'd like to have >an egt sensor, but I'm not thrilled about drilling holes in my extractors. Funny you should mention that. I just installed mine in the egr hole on my turbo V6 for the same reasons you mentioned yesterday. The port is located just after one bank merges together, but before the turbo. So far it works great. The one thing to watch is to make sure that the tip of the probe extends into the exhaust stream. Usually the egr port has a fairly long mounting boss and if you probe isn't long enough it won't be able to accurately measure the temp of the exhaust stream. Good luck, Max ------------------------------ From: dzorde@xxx.com (dzorde) Date: Sun, 1 Jun 1997 09:21:10 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Re: ALDL Interface Please can we have it in Protel format !!!!

Has anyone looked at this package as a test bed for checking out the various (fi / ign / engine managment) modules? Or would building the efi332 CPU and serial port modules be a better method??
