Help with gauge install

I am in the process of installing my gauges this weekend. I have autometer gauges, pyro, boost, and trans temp. I am installing on my 2004 F-350 CC SB 6.0L

The questions I have is on hooking up the boost gauge and trans gauge. On the boost gauge I remeber reading that a good spot to hook into is just left of the turbo. I think I have found the hose is it the one that runs from where it hooks up on the cowl into the passenger side valve cover?

On the trans gauge would a good spot be the line that is pumping fliud to the cooler? If so which line the front or rear on trans? Its the 5 speed torq shift.


Thanks for all the help
John

Boost line you have located correctly. And yes you want to hook the trans temp before the factory cooler to know your max temp. But i got a 6 speed and cant tell you which line it is.
