Check out Riffraff Diesels website, they have an AIH delete plug that screws into the spider. Thats what I bought, it is pre drilled to fit a boost gauge fitting without having to do any drilling yourself. Makes for a real clean install.

Riffraff Diesel Performance Parts: - AIH Delete Plug


I bought the one with the pre tapped hole. Get the one that works with the line that came with your gauge.

You can also use the included Tee Fitting by cutting the MAP hose. It runs from the spider to the MAP sensor on the right side of the engine compartment. The hose is covered with wire loom. You can simply use a 1/4" vacuum tee to splice in there.

The RRD AIH Delete plug is far cleaner and is also what I have done.

I just installed my riffraff AIH delete with boost fitting on Saturday.. Worked flawless, much better than tapping and having to clean drill bits.

Notice anything different about his turbo? That's the reason for the intake difference mainly.

the difference for me was how the intake "y" sat on top of the plenums....with the stock plenums and the pri's in there the plenums were too high and the "y" didnt sit on top of them right.....it was misaligned....the new plenums line everything up perfectly and are very nice....no boost leaks with the leak detector and ive boosted up to 40lbs again with no problems.....

edit: after re reading the above 2 posts did you think i had one of those cfm things? i thought you might have been following the plenum thread.....
