check out tj's webshots on his oil bypass pictures, on the oil cooler mount near the factory oil filter there is a plug you can use for oil supply, there are 2 or 3 next to each other and i cant remember which one you want, his picture is labled

For the Pyro, slide under your drivers side door behind the front wheel. Look up at the exhaust manifold. There is a nice flat spot to drill and tap where the manifold meets the up pipe. I THINK..........I THINK its a 21/64 drill bit and 1/8 NPT tap. And it really is easy to do. Don't worry about shavings. Drill hole, vacuum out, tap hole (with some lube, wd-40), vacuum out. Start truck before you install probe to blow any left over shavings out.. Install probe. Cake walk.

i am sure... cuz i could kink the line going to the boost and make it steady... but maybe i tapped in to close to the map sensor... for i have heard that can cuz the fluctuation... but is there anywhere else to tap in???
