Some info here from AULRO.

Post turbo would probably be the easiest installation.

Pre turbo one has to mind drilling swarf and removing the turbo temporarily to achieve that would probably be the safest way.

You really want to observe a "change" in reading - i.e. putting foot in top gear under load - e.g. uphill, loaded, towing, etc. - and deciding whether to gear down or decelerate somewhat.

This "change" should be constant - whether pre turbo or post turbo.

Ive put an EGT gauge in my 200tdi Manifold as have been doing some pump tweaking. Hottest temp used to be around 200 and is now about 430 on a hot long hill climb with the foot down.

I installed in Manifold pre turbo, got a kit that includes all the parts you need - apart from a tap kit, order one on Amazon, mine was 1/8npt

Not a hard install but make sure the Manifold doesnt get swarf in it that gets sucked into turbo. I managed to use a vacuum as I drilled it in situ, picked up most swarf so it didn't fall in and managed to seal the vacuum to the manifold to suck out any last bits. So no turbo removal needed for me.

Putting the sensor after the turbo will skew the temp reading (sadly the case as a downpipe would be easy to remove and tap safely.

If you have a 300 or td5 and have blanked your EGR valve with a plate you can just remove that and tap the sensor into it off of the car... safest and easiest if you have a suitable blank already.
