Go to a hardware store and tap one in. Perhaps a welding shop could be a bit more help and install it for you. You just have to find the size.

i've heard that tapping in the #3 cylinder at the manifold gives a better EGT reading.

I believe the uppipe egt is there to monitor the uppipe cat temp so it doesn't overheat and disintegrate -destroying the turbo. This is unnecessary, if you go catless UP. I just plugged in a 2.2K resistor in place of the egt lead. The ECU sees a normal reading, no CELs. Read the unabomber uppipe faq for more info.
