Stumped on EGT probe placement

Hello Wonderful Dodge CTD bretheren.I have been able to fix my 95 with all the wonderful info gleaned from this entertaining site.But now I find myself in a quandry on where to put my EGT probe.My concern with tapping it into the manifold is that filings might damage the turbo blades,and if I did place it there my inclination is to start with the 1/8 tap so I will have the 1/4 tap as a backup if something goes wong.If the 1/4 tap fails then I have the beer tap to work on but I would prefer that under different circumstances.I'm aware of greasing the bit and fishing out the filings with a magnet,but....I'm ready to put my new 4" exhaust on and it would be easy at this point to put the probe in there if popular wisdom so dictates.My truck is an ex northeast snowplow unit that is worth restoring.It is! It is!

Any input would be appreciated.Thanks Mucho.
