when I installed an ATS intercooler I drilled and tapped a 1/8n.p.t. hole in the air intake adapter that connects the air tubing to the manifold. by checking at turbo and the adapter, I found that there was 2lb. loss thru the intercooler. Reset the wastegate for 2 lb. more boost, and connected gauge to the adapter. John

I teed mine off the waste gate line for eas of install and because my truck doesn't have an intercooler. mostly sor eas you could drill and tap the intake hat but dont know if there would be a real advantage.

Should be there right beside the mounting bolt.
ATS and Ford are the same system.
Ford just re engineered the turbo outlet flange and down pipe to one that did not work as well, but did clear the firewall better.

I all ways thought they had some thing goofy at the plant where the forklifts would drive across the conveyer belt the down pipes were on. Probly be changeing mine soon as I find sone of that litle red line for the waste gate just not the biggest fan of the four hose clamps holding the tee in.

Do a search for Isspro.
In fact one of the sire sponsors carries Isspro, and I seem to remember the prices were good.
I have Isspro boost and pyrometer gauges, and am more than happy with them for several years now.
