Dean, if you are a little consernd about temps, maybe install a EGT in there first to get temp readings
I have an aftermarket EGT in the header of cylinder 3, and I get readings over 1400 on occasion. Not sure it is worth moving, and I think I have the bung after the turbo which should be fairly safe. If the EGT starts to get near 15-1600, I may get worried. I'll have to take a look further down the exhaust to see if I have a bung already if needed. The LC-1 kit comes with an extra bung, so I can get that welded in if needed.
