S6 has one built-in EGT amp., S8 has 2.

To add more than that you'll need external EGT amplifiers that will provide a 0-5V output that the S6/S8 can read.

I used to have a link to a really cheap one, they dont seem to list them anymore. It was around $20. This appears to be same sort of thing at a cheap price

More expensive options, 1 channel and up

Don't think so - that is for their "MTS" system so has a serial data I/O rather than 0-5V analogue, as far I can see.

TC-4 only transmits over the serial datastream.

It does not output any 0-5v voltage based on temperature, the sales blurb for it can be a little misleading. It does provide a 5v supply for powering other sensors though
