Isspro’s usually come with a weldable bung with the probe in the complete kit. Not sure about other brands.
They always recommended welding it between 3”-6” post turbo.
Drill 1/2” hole, weld bung, install probe and gauge, go truckin’ -

Putting an egt probe pre turbo runs the risk of cracking the exhaust manifold or blowing the probe out from the back pressure. The probe can also break off and run though the turbo.
There is really no good location on a paccar post turbo to mount one either.
The engine already has multiple EGT sensors and monitors everything so there is nothing you can do to create a high EGT situation. Leave it alone and drive the #### thing. -
