The practical jokes that went on were unreal lol. By the way, have you ever had the pleasure of watching someone try to run a wheel loader with a C18, that is stuck in a hole, on nothing but ether? very interesting story lol.

Alright well my exhaust guy couldn't get to my truck today, so that has to wait 'til Thursday. As for the gauges, they are being installed probably Saturday when I have some time. I will definitely take some pictures for y'all.

On drilling the manifold or up-pipe- no grease, point the hole downward and drill away. 98% of the shavings fall to the ground, whats left won't hurt a dang thing.

If I'm reading this right,You want your exhaust installer to install the probe? Are you intending to install it in the exhaust down pipe? You know this will make your readings post turbo,right? Most guys install probe pre-turbo. Just want you to avoid doing it twice.

No no, I'm installing it pre-turbo. I was just going to ask if while he was messin' around with the exhaust if he could drill and tap the manifold. I'm thinking I'm going to do it myself on the up pipe. Seems pretty simple and there isn't much of a chance of me really screwing things up long as i follow the advice listed here.
