EGT gauge sensor question

I am thinking about ordering the Megan Racing turbo manifold and 02 housing.

The only problem is that I have a defi EGT gauge sensor tapped into the OEM manifold currently. Where do I put this when I get the Megan racing mani? Do I have to drill/weld a new bung into it? Sorry if this has been covered, but I'm a bit confused...

try and find a manifold with the egt already there, otherwise yea, you'd weld it into the new one.

is there any aftermarket manifold that fits the stock turbo that already has one welded in, or is it just a matter of drilling into the new one? because it doesn't look like the one I have now is welded...just drilled.

any reason you want to change manifolds if you are running stock turbo?....most people will say port the one you got for best results...

i had meagans at one point and they cracked, as it did with alot of other users...i'm not sure what good after markets are out there for stock setup

well my buddy installed a prosport manifold on his stock turbo evo and said he felt noticeable gains. maybe it really isn't the case though...

how long did you have your megan before it cracked?
