Hi,

As you seem to like to use CAT as you reference point it should be drawn to your attention that the larger engines (3500's) the standard Pyro offering is one per bank and that's it. The smaller one give one per engine usually on the outlet of the Turbo combiner if you are lucky or it's nothing. The 3500 Family have facility to fit and it can be done at the customers cost individual probes, the accuracy of these for day to day fault finding leaves something to be desired as somethine a healthy engine has a couple of low temps. Stopping the engine swapping the probes and wires often leads to a completely different reading.
