Monitor can be reprogrammed to that application but an additional accessory kit
may be required.
The following sections will give detail on the install of each measurement available
but not all will apply to your installation.
Installation
NOTE: The ground terminals of the vehicle's batteries should be disconnected
before performing any welding or taping onto any ECM/PCM wire.
Pyrometer Sending Unit (Thermocouple)
If your existing exhaust does not have a fitting to install a pyrometer sender unit
(thermocouple), you will have to install the bushing supplied in this kit. The best
place to locate the thermocouple is in the turbo charger down pipe.
For advanced users, the thermocouple can be directly installed into the manifold
before the turbo. This is a more difficult installation and should only be attempted by
an experienced mechanic. When drilling and tapping the ¼" hole, be sure not to drill
into any webbing or critical areas of the exhaust manifold. When monitoring the
exhaust temperature before the turbo the critical temperature is ~1250-1300°F.

If you have a TURBO-MOUNT
EXHAUST BRAKE or an after
market down pipe installed there
may be a ¼" NPT plug already
in the system. Remove this plug
and install thermocouple into the
¼" NPT hole and tighten with an
open-end wrench.
If you have an OEM or stock
down pipe you will have to drill a
hole and then weld the bushing
that is supplied with this kit in
place. It is recommended that
you remove the existing down
pipe for ease of drilling and
welding but it is possible to
install with pipe in place. Install
thermocouple into the 1/4 pipe
tap hole and tighten with an
open-end wrench.
