Guage Parameter Questions

I've got a 06 ford f-350 with the 6.0L diesel engine and I have 4 digital guages that im going to install in it. The guages are cylinder head temp, exhaust gas temp, fuel pressure, and boost. These guages have High and low set points that can be programmed to flash when set points have been exceeded. Could someone tell me where to hook the following sending units, and tell me the parameters for the high/low temperatures/pressures.

The Cylinder Head Guage, which head bolt should I hook the sending unit up to (on the engine), or does it matter? What would be the high warning temperature I should program the guage to?

The Exhaust Gas Temp Guage, where is the best place to put the temp. probe? What is the high temp warning that I should program the guage to?

The Fuel Pressure Guage, this has a 1/8" NPT threaded pressure sending unit and I need to know where this goes? What is the low/high warning pressures, that I should program the guage to?

The Boost Guage, the truck already has this in the dash but im adding another to the pillar for looks. This guage came with a 1/8" vacuum hose and I need to know where to plug this in for the boost pressure? What pressure should I program the guage for the high boost warning?

Thanks for the help

The Exhaust Gas Temp Guage, where is the best place to put the temp. probe? In the Header on the drivers side, for ease of installation and more accurate readings. (I know this will prolly open a can of worms)What is the high temp warning that I should program the guage to?IMHO 1450F

The Fuel Pressure Guage, this has a 1/8" NPT threaded pressure sending unit and I need to know where this goes? What is the low/high warning pressures, that I should program the guage to?Don't know on this one either

The Boost Guage, the truck already has this in the dash but im adding another to the pillar for looks. This guage came with a 1/8" vacuum hose and I need to know where to plug this in for the boost pressure? Best place to install the tap is into the Intake Elbow. Smoothest reading on the gauge there.What pressure should I program the guage for the high boost warning?35lbs

Thanks for the help
Hope that helps ya...
