I have no idea what this random nut is that's tapped into the exhaust housing. It's hollow, could it be for a sensor? It's not oil or water so what is it and what do I do about it? I'm thinking of just bolting it up? Any ideas?

Thanks Christian. I thought it would be a sensor of some kind. Will it be ok to just put a bolt in there to block it up?

If you put a bolt in and it goes too far, the exhaust wheel may hit it. Be very careful.

Exhaust gas temp sensor / provision.

All T3G kits came with a threaded hole for one, most i've seen also come with a sensor, some with a gauge.

Thanks Cihan and Christian. That is a bit confusing as I haven't seen this on any other set of t3gs.
Where do most people run the actuators too? There's no provision for a feed from the inlet housing like on the ct12as. Do I have to tap into the inlet manifold?
