I'm installing an Autometer Pyrometer in my 6.2 with Banks Turbo.
The Manifold is tapped for 1/4" NPT. The Pyro adapter is for 1/8". If I install a bushing, the probe will only stick into the exhaust gas stream about 1/4 - 5/16".
Is this enough contact with the gas to get an accurate reading on the thermocouple?
If the hole in the manifold was tapped for 1/8" directly, it looks like the probe would almost cross the gas stream entirely.
Note, I'm having a similar question with my mechanical water temp gauge, which needed an extender to keep it from hitting the far side of the head water passage.
I assume that they will both work, but would like to seek second opinions.
Thanks.
