connect the YELLOW and RED wires
of the leadwire to the corresponding
terminals on the thermocouple.
cover this joint with the supplied heat
shrink tubing and heat until the tubing
conforms to the joint. Make sure the
entire joint is insulated.

1.
The thermocouple monitors
the temperature of the exhaust
gases entering the turbocharger
at the turbine housing. Installation
requires that the exhaust manifold be
drilled near the manifold outlet. It is
recommended that the manifold
be removed from the engine to
thoroughly clean out all metal chips
from drilling. If manifold is not
removed from the vehicle, all chips
must be removed from the manifold.
This may be accomplished by using
a magnet to extract the chips after
drilling. The tap should be greased
before use and the chips again
removed with a magnet. All metal
shavings must be cleaned from the
manifold to avoid turbine damage.
2.
To access the exhaust manifold,
remove front passenger wheel well by
removal of plastic retainers.
3.
On the passenger side, remove the
hardware retaining the turbine inlet
exhaust pipe to the exhaust manifold
Then remove the exhaust manifold
from vehicle. Pay special attention to
the orientation of the manifold outlet
gasket. Retain the hardware and
gaskets for re-assembly.
4.
center punch and drill through
the passenger side exhaust manifold
into the rear passage at the location
shown in Figure 26. Use a “R” drill,
keeping the drill perpendicular
to the manifold surface.
5.
Tap the drilled hole with a 1 ⁄
8
” NPT
pipe tap. check the thread depth as
you tap by periodically removing the
tap and screwing the thermocouple
insert into the tapped hole. The
thermocouple insert should be tight
and snug when half it’s threads are
screwed into the manifold.
6.
Install the thermocouple insert
into the manifold using anti-seize
compound on the threads. Install the
probe in the thermocouple insert.
7.
Make sure to remove all shavings
from inside the exhaust manifold.
Reinstall the exhaust manifold. Torque
to 28 ft-lb (38Nm) in the sequence
shown in Figure 26.
