I have 4 EGT's (and many other probes) and my dealership is cool with it. Then again, I've been going there for 10 years.

Thanks.

Other gauges: boost, intake air temp, oil temp, water temp, oil pressure, and volts. Gauges are SPA Technique dual digitals. As long as the install is clean, you shouldn't get much flak from your dealer. Also, take your time properly welding a bung into the exhaust manifold for the sensor.

I installed mine with a pipe thread tap per Evomoto's installation directions. You should definitely weld on a tubular manifold but I was under the impression that you shouldn't weld on the cast manifold?

4 EGTs? Are you worried about a clogged injector? Cool setup but isn't that a little bit of overkill?

Yeah, it's definitely overkill. The idea was that when I start doing some serious tuning, I can see whether a particular cylinder is running too lean. I'll talk to my mechanic today and get a proper response to your other questions.

Right on, I had thought the bungs were welded on, but they were simply threaded in after drilling the manifold.
