Where the turbo mounts to the manifold there is a center divider inside the manifold. drill and tap in the back half of that section. The back 3 cylinders run the hottest so that is the best place to put it. Is this as clear as mud for you?

that mud is so clear I can see right through it thanks.
Why do 456 run hotter than 123?

Because those 3 cylinders are further away from the air intake horn, and don't get as much air as 123, as the air has to travel further.

I believe he is suggesting to use grease so it will grab all the metal fragments when you drill and tap. Therefore keeping them out of the turbo when you fire it up for the first time.
