gauge questions?

I am fixing to install my gauges and just had a few questions. When installing the boost gauge is the T fitting that goes in the MAP line just as good as drilling and tapping. And next question. Where exactly do you put the exhaust probe for the EGT/pyro. It is on the divers side or passanger, and can you do it without getting under the truck?

Thanks in advance

Yes the MAP line is going to get just as good of a reading as anywhere else..... Plus if you just add a small section of hose with clamps you can do it without even cutting it...so if you sell your truck and want to keep your gauges it makes it easier...

The exhaust probe goes on the drivers side manifold... you can pretty much only drill in one area...since the drill only fits in there one way.. but yes you have to go under the truck...

take a look at these instructions...probably the best out there...
