Just had a rookie mistake with puting the EGT temp sensor in was told that it needed to be set in manifold and so I looked at the manifold and desided to put it right in the center of the colector. So I started drilling not with any nolage that I was drilling smack dab in the center of the cast iron spliter. Now I'm left with a manifold that is not going to work. but on the bright side it get a nice new ats manifold but still am pist I made such a bone head mistake should of known on every turbo it has a split in the colector. just thought you guys could get a laugh out of my stupid mistake or for newbys looking to instal EGT gauge what not to do

 

 

The only reason I didn't make the same mistake on my first EGT gauge install is only because I must have read 100 posts on the issue. It's more common than you might think...
On the bright side though, you got a better exhaust manifold now anyway!

 

well we all make mistakes. some cost more than others. sorry to hear about that!

 

dont feel bad i did that too on my first one. i never read about it so i didnt even think twice. i just used a brass cap and put it in my second hole and it doesnt leak

 

i did it to it happens

 

Me to All part of the fun

 

thanks guys it helps to here Im not the only one but hopefully this will help out the next guy

 

I didn't do it........


But I have done WAYYY worse stuff.

 

I didn't do it, but only because I read so many posts.
I would do as suggested above and put a brass plug in it.
Or buy a new manifold LOL...excuses excuses Wooot.
