I have a 19J turbo diesel in my 130 and I am looking to install a pyrometer to keep an eye on the exhaust gas temperature. I am looking for some advice regarding the probe location. I have seen one mounted on the exhaust exhaust pipe after the turbo but I have also heard someone mention taping into the turbo housing as an alternate location. I would appreciate hearing from others here on the forum regarding their insight and practical experience with pyrometer installs, particularly if you were dealing with a 19J. Also I am interested in hear what sort of temps people are reading on their 19Js under normal and heavy conditions.

Cheers, Rob

You need to measure before the turbo as the temperature drop across the turbo is variable. 700 C maximum should be OK, although I've never heard of anyone tuning up a 19J. Most are scared of them dying in stock form.

I would suggest a gauge from Auber, http://www.auberins.com/index.php?main_ ... caf84fe553 Great pricing. Having the maximum memory and alarm output is extremely helpful. They also sell a nice flashing buzzer to use as an alarm.
