Exhaust prob placment

[JD Diesel]

Where's the best place to put the exhaust prob before turbo or after ??????? Some say after cause prob might break and go thur turbo. Any truth in this or is it just hype. Thanks JD :D :cool:

While a broken thermocouple could theoretically break off and enter a turbo, it just isn't common enough to cause alarm. I have heard of it happening, but have never actually witnessed the results. They are very robust, and designed to handle the temps they are subject to. Certainly not a reason to disqualify it.

the ONLY thermocouple damage I' ve ever seen was the result of turbine wheel failure causing parts of the wheel to hit the probe which was installed post turbo.

What do you think about one on each side. JD

Problems tend to fabricate themselves when we have too much information. Having a bunch of instruments is OK if there is a reason for them. Some of your driving time should be reserved for driving. Too much eyeball time on gages means less time for the windshield and mirrors.
