gauges
i recently installed my autometer gauges(Boost, pyro, trans temp) on my 2003 f250 with 7.3 but have not hooked them up yet. What are the best locations for the boost and pyro senders? Thanks

I was told by a friend i should remove the manifold to drill and tap for the pyro bc i would "dust" my turbo? is this true? The pyro kit came with an alternate method for mounting in the down pipe, which i'm assuming would give a much lower reading than from the manifold??? thanks

I put mine in the up-pipe -- a bit easier to work with. Most (all?) of the drill filings will fall down & out of the hole, so there's no big worries. I drilled & tapped mine, and let whatever junk made it in the up-pipe blow out of the turbo. It's not a big deal -- pretty much everyone here did it that way.
Here where I put in my pyro:
