Replacing my manifold and was curious what you guys think is the best place to run a pyro if you are only using one.  I was running a single pre turbo but debating adding a second or relocating my single.  I know this horse has beaten a lot but I couldn't seam to find a good thread on it here.

Does post only give you a better actual turbo temperature and that's it or are there other benefits to post turbo probes?

Pre-turbo gives a better indication of combustion temperatures and the heat the turbine wheel on the turbo is seeing. If you want to run a pre-and post, I think that would be fine. If you are only running one, I would strongly advise you stay with pre turbo.

I've had some friends that ran both pre and post pyrometers. The post is not worth much being it can be 500*F colder or more. Best to be pre turbo like @TFaoro said above.

So my old thermocouple is stuck do you guys think heating with a torch will damage it as long as I don't burn the wires?

I normally grab the probe with channel locks and lightly twist it back and forth keep pulling upwards.

They each show different things, but if you plan to run just one then run a pre turbo pyro. 

The post is better for indicating you are lugging as well as proper shutdown temps.
