I understand your concern. However, on the OM606.962, the EGR port on the manifold is in close proximity to the #6 exhaust port. Using a normal thermocouple inserted at a reasonable depth in this location would yield an EGT reading for that cylinder, rather than an "average" temp if the thermocouple was closer to the turbine inlet.
I'm still not sure if I will do this, but I easily gave myself the option of doing so at a later date if I so please.
On edit: Quite a few race and R&D engines have one thermocouple per cylinder and then others mounted pre/post the turbine housing. It's all in how you interpret the data
