If your buddy is getting a good set of gauges there should be instructions with the kit. I bought ISSOPRO from DIELEL MANOR and had very good instructions with the kit.
Good luck, And don't forget to wash your hands after you finish.

Pyro should REALLY go in the exhaust manifold, that's where you'll get your best reading.
The boost gauge can be plumbed in anywhere between the turbo and the intake. Try to find an existing threaded hole on the turbo compressor housing or somewhere on the intake, otherwise you can tee off the line running to the wastegate actuator.
