since you have a turbo, do all this with the motor running. install the probe in the driveside manifold inbetween the last 2 cyls. drill and tap it with the motor running. this will blow out the metal shavings instead of sending them threw the turbo. when you tap it, only go in 4 threads or so. pipe fittings are tapered, if you thread the tap all the way in, you will never get the fitting to seal. this locations can be done from under the hood

sorry pic is so big.
