I just got the Isspro package from riffraff also. That link shows the sensor in the up pipe, Wouldn't it be better to go into actually manifold that is thicker material so I would have at least a few threads to tap. Also, is it necessary to drill holes in the stock pillar, the directions say there is enough room behind the new pillar.

The link I posted shows it drilling and tapping the manifold right before it turns up into the uppipe...

Drill the manifold...
Your going to have to drill the factory piller to install the push pins to hold them together, just drill one or more holes for the gauge wiring.
As far as extra wires, you want to be able to pull and remove the gauge so keep that in mind.

Diesel manor guide is great! Only advice I have is take your time, dont get frustrated and try to rush it... if you do you'll end up in the standing in the rain at 12 am with your interior torn half apart (dont ask me how I know
). Also if you are using a fuse tap for the power source, make sure you put two fuses in the tap 
spent 2 hours trying to figure that one out because Im a bit slow on the up take... That being said the wiring is a easy as long as you follow the diagram that comes with the gauge.
