Where in the DP is optimal to have the WB bung welded in? Found 2 locals that can weld it in for me.

I put 2 bungs in mine, one near the heater box, and one under the floor in front of the test pipe. They say 2 feet from the turbo, but thats not really possible for us. has to be on the top 1/2 of the tube to prevent condensation from killing it.

One of my cars has the bung close to the heater box (be sure it's spaced so that there is room to line it up and screw it in) and the other is in the middle of the collector. 10-2 o'clock position to keep condensation off the element as Gavin said. the further you locate it from the turbo, the longer it will live

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Have mine as close to the heater box as possible

But you can't have it too far away from the turbo, right?
Mines about a foot away from the dump. 2 o'clock position.
