Dieselmanor.com and Western Diesel have good instructions. The install (boost, pyrometer, trany temp) took 3 hours with some help. I am not a mechanic and do not do a whole lot of mods besides bolt on. The diesel manor website has really good pictures on where to drill into the manifold. The only thing you will need is the 21/64" bit and the tap. I used a shopvac to get rid of the shavings. The trany sensor is easy, use the pressure test port on the left side of the trany. The boost gauge only takes about 10 minutes to install. I used Autometer autolite gauges.

you also have the option to get a clamp on style pyro sensor. All you have to do is drill the up pipe immediately off the manifold put the probe in and clamp it down. Easy and reliable. No need to tap the hole at all. a lot of the guys i know do it that way

The Western Diesel instructions are available at GOS Performance in pdf format. I just purchased and installed Autometer Z series from them and Jerry was a big help. When my boost gage arrived damaged from shipping, Jerry overnighted me a new one so I could have it for a 1500 mile towing trip this weekend.
