02Gray, hopefully you will not be as nervous as I was about drilling into the exhaust manifold just below the turbo uptake pipe. I followed several peoples advice about leaving the bits dry instead of putting grease on them (used the graduated bit method after drilling the pilot hole to keep the shavings small and also not have to push so hard and get shavings on the "wrong side" of the hole). I vacuumed out the hole as best I could after I tapped it. Mine came out fine and good luck to you. -Glenn
