Looks good Matt..

I almost went with the woodgrain but decided on the color match instead now I know what it would have looked like.

Wood grain looks good and makes me think of going that way to match the current wood grain.

I got my pyro from the driver side up-pipe just above the junction. i only put it here because this was where it said to use because i was using the band style clamp, not the drill and tap. I believe with the drill and tap you do it just below where i drilled mine. Here is a pic:

I got my boost from the AIH. I bought the plug from pure diesel power with the boost fitting tapped into it.

Does this come with the auto meter gauge and how accurate is it versus the drill and tap method, Just curious because i'm getting ready to put gauges on mine.

You can order either one. I don't think there would be a dif in reading since they would only be like 4" apart. I think drilling the up pipe would be alittle easer, because thats what I did

.

Gauges look good. Never seen the wood grain on the A post before only on the doors.
