I have two, one on left http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2695793770095823258LABNjW
and one on right http://good-times.webshots.com/photo/2400722090095823258eysDuj.

both are in the exhaust manifolds.

You want the pyro pre turbo.

Driverside just past where the manifold turns up and connects to the uppipe is the easiest accesible spot

From my experience, the easiest place to install it is on the driver's side manifold just befor the up-pipe to the turbo. I wasn't aware that some folks put it in the passenger side actually- but the drivers side allows easy inlets to the cab for the wires, etc.

No garage eh? That sucks. Only reason to be going to bed. I was trying to install my Cannon here last Jan or Feb, can't remember but do remember that it was 27 degress outside with a wind chill of somewhere in the teens. I threw in the towel and completed it the next day as the carport just wasn't cutting it. Still cold but at least it was daytime. I have bad news for you, the weather here sucked today and it always heads your way. Enjoy.

I hear you, my 2 car basement garage gave way to my "man-town" den because I live in the south. Sometimes I could really use it but the F350 never really fit in here worth a damn anyway. Good luck with the installs.

Must be nice. You're really upper class Alan, what with putting in quarters for a Butler. Only in the South Bro.
