That is why it is in the header on Cylinder 3 and not in the up-pipe. As I understand #3 is the one that is most likely to run lean.

I'm still researching before doing any tuning, and as with everything, there are disputes over max EGTs, but everyone's sensor is in different places.... I think A/F is more important overall, EGT on 3 is a backup watch point, most likely if I get near 100% injector duty which is unlikely on the stock turbo in it's efficiency range.
