That spot which might look to be an easy place to connect the probe. You wll not get the true reading of the heat going through the Turbo charger.
You are only getting the temp from that one cylinder.

To get the true temp, you will have to remove the manifolds, and drill & tap into the exhaust manifold where the exhaust goes into the turbo.

I have seen some drilled into the header pipe (down pipe) post turbo, but the temp will be a couple hunderd degrees lower.

this was just discussed on a thread a week or two ago. FORCEDINDUCTION might have a thread on it. I do remember BGKAST showing some pictures doing it when I first registered a couple yrs ago.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
