gO To The web site http://www.dieselmanor.com and click on install sheets under resources.
They have color photo's with instructions on two options, drill & tap turbo outlet or splice into the boost sensor line which is very easy to reach and do.

You tie into the MAP sensor line or remove the AIH and install a plug with a connector tapped for the gauge line. Tee looks something like this. Mine was one size too large so it looks jacked up, but at least you see where it goes (tee in front of the I/C boot). The "Bypass Valve" is the valve that shuts off hot coolant from the heater core for colder AC.
EDIT: The AIH is the thing just to the right of the boot that looks like a squatty spark plug. I'll be removing mine soon, too. I just looked at how big that thing is in there!!
I suggest you get the AIH delete plug with boost line fitting. Much cleaner that way.

I'm with Joe on this. The AIH delete/Boost tie in, is the way to go. I think it's only like 20 bucks or so. I just can't find it. I can't recall which vendor sells it or I'd link it too yah. Joe do you recall the vendor?? Country

I went to Orielly's and bought a oil drain plug the same size as AIH (couple of bucks IIRC), drilled and tapped using same stuff I used for Pyrometer, installed the fitting for the Tee. Stupid AIH gone and gauge tap in a good spot.
