OEM diesel installations require measuring exhaust gas temps at the inlet to the exhaust gas treatment equipment. This is why many sensors are installed post turbo.
If you want to know true EGT, then you want to measure the temps immediately after the exhaust valve and before the turbo...
A claim of nearly 50% fuel economy increase with water injection is thermodynamically impossible. Water injection can in certain instances reduce power as water is not combustible and thus does not contribute to the heat output of the engine. Methanol is mixed with water to negate this affect...
