For the record, I've used EGT's racing 2 strokes [which are far more sensitive to improper A/F ratios than even the most high strung turbo engine] for the better part of a decade.
Awesome, thanks Harry. I knew there was a reason I was going to put it on the #3 runner. h:

Why would a bung be more beneficial if the bolt adapter is properly sealed? I can see where it may cause problems, but is it really that bad?

I went with the Greddy electronic EGT.
