Default EGT probe welding, need someone to help

Is there anyone or any shop in NN that can install 2 weld in style EGT probes for me? I dont have a welder nor do I know how to weld. There is a guy in chesapeake that was going to do it for me for $50, but I hate driving all the way down there. PM me or post if anyone can help me out. I also need help getting a stripped turbo bolt out.

Weld in??
What egt gauge did you get?
I've never seen one that needed to be welded in.

I've tapped 3 or 4 different manifolds to install egt probes. It's not hard to do.

it is a computec egt logger. it has dual probes and a rpm input that allow you to log egt temps in 2 cylinders and match them with rpms. It is made for top fuel drag cars, that is why it is weld in. I know how to tap into the manifold, i just cant weld.

We can do it here at the shop. We recommend using an EGT for turbo tuning. Shouldn't be that hard..crs 306-8686
