I've been searching around the forum for answers, sorry for not finding it.

What is the best place to install a water temp sensor to install a secondary digital temp gauge?

Should I install one by tapping into a rubber cooling hose and using clamps, or is there a specific location (I want to keep the OEM one intact) where I should install it?

Thanks!

there is blanking plugs (19mm headed bolts IIRC) on the inlet manifold between runners 1 and 2. and, 3 and 4 if that makes any sense.
might be worth removing one of the plugs and fitting the new sensor in its place. they are the same thread as the ECU's temp sensor that is located in between runners 2 and 3.

Not always blanking plugs - 3-4 has the EGR waxstat on mine. Not sure about 1-2, but don't recall a blank in there.

drill and tap the end of the head or the thermostat housing
