pyro and boost gauge...
ok, i decided im going to get these but i want to make absolute sure i know where i need to install them before i start drilling holes and cutting lines... in the line is the picture with the blue arrows the correct line for the t fitting for the boost? and youre supposed to drill and tap into the manifold for the pyro, right? if you get under the truck, and pretty much directly above the oil filter, is that where i need to put the pyro?
if any of this is wrong someone let me know and perhaps some pictures... i searched and i THINK i have it right but not certain (especially about the pyro).

Just did it myself. Here are a few installation guide sites I found helpful:
http://www.gts-motorsports.com/gaugemountinst.html
http://www.dieselpage.com/gimain.htm
http://dieselmanor.com/installsheets.asp
While I believe it is best to tap right into the exhaust manifold with the pyro probe (as you have planned), I used the steel clamp method. Installed it just a few inches behind the junction of the exhaust manifold and the up pipe, in the smaller up pipe. Drivers side, in the oil filter neighborhood. Easier to drill and seems to work just as good. I can email you a photo of that or anything else you might need if you send an email address.
You'll like having guages. Many thanks to all that helped me in deciding on brands, models, etc. I love them!

thanks for the websites. please email a picture of where you put the pyro probe on the manifold. how come you used the clamp method vs tapping?

heres the picture i talked about in my first post, im pretty positive its the right hose for the boost, but again i want to double check to make sure before i start cutting hoses...
