Actually I am working on a set of exhaust manifolds that will include 5 EGT probes on each and ceramic coated. Modified up pipes that will be coated also with the hot side of the turbo coated. I will have 2 gauges, left and right, and a selector switch to be able to check each cylinder when I want.

Chuck,
One though on your EGT arrangement. Keep in mind that thermocouples are EXTREMELY sensitive (working on microvolts) and any change in resistance in the circuit can cause a change in output. Gauges are calibrated with the length of the leads in consideration and even the type of metal used for the connections. Even if you don't change the length, adding a switch or even another set of connections can skew the EGT readings of the gauge significantly. Just wanted you to be aware.

I will have to go back to the engine dyno and look at their set up again.
