You might want to install a boost gauge to see what sort of boost you get before and after the mod. I saw no difference in my boost doing this. I live at 7000' elevation, so that may impact total boost.

Where is the best place to get a boost guage and are they pretty easy to install?

Very easy to install - tee into one of the small plastic lines downstream of the turbo, or remove the AIH and buy the Riffraff fitting that replaces it (for this purpose).
I bought an Autometer 0-30 psi boost gauge. That should be plenty for a non-built-up engine. Don't buy a 0-60 psi gauge. The 7.3 forum has tons of info on this.
