EGT probe placement

This has probley been covered but what the hell, got the EGT gauge but where is the correct spot to drill the whole for the probe? Different people have different ideas so I don;t know which is the correct way? Chime in quick, it's a kickass day here and I need to get out and work on my Evo.

Thanks Bros

I see no pre-drilled hole anywhere. So just drill a hole through heat sheild and the header huh.

well look at teh pic and where its pointing. if there isnt a hole there then u might have to unscrew and drill one urself. but i clearly remember reading that that person didnt have to drill.

He might've drilled the hole while the engine was running, so it would blow the chips out.

Yes I have seen that done. But not everything is cleaned even thow. I also see a magnet take up most of the metal but still not the most ideal way.
