The good news is that you finally have the gauges now. Dipriocols are gorgeous and they look amazing in the cab. It'll all get worked out and you'll be on to other mods before you know it. I would continue to push the installer.
As for your 4th pod, I would look at the Whistler Cruisader Motorcycle Radar Detector. They are designed for a standard guage pod. Very cool.

They have agreed to Tig weld on a patch on Monday. He was hesitant at first telling me that everyone has an opinion. He also said on the Duramax he always taps the boost tube. I will post the pictures of the weld next week.

Sorry I hate stupid idiots who use the comment "oh well I do it on this type of vehicle".. I have many folks that I get stuck fixing crap that other shops screw up because they don't use their heads
Just an FYI.. I'd go look for another shop in the future.. Anyone who says they do it like that on another vehicle is not worth the headache.. Not every engine is the same, nor is every manufacturer even the same.. Next thing you know you might leave with a Cummins fuel filter (not really but you get my drift)..

Most likely will not use this shop again. He is a huge Cummins & Duramax guy (found out after I used him to install guages). Said he can easily mod a cummins to produce 1000 ft pounds of torque but would recommend I not modify my 6.0L at all as its the weakpoint in the Fords!!

I wonder what it looks like on the inside ? I mean if it's rough on the inside it's going to disrupt the air flow. Prolly bugger all... but in my mind it's like spending lots of money on a nice mandrel bent exhaust then drilling a hole in it and welding a patch over it....
