Can anyone send pictures of exact locations to tap the exhaust man and intake area for my new autometer gauges, 99 Dodge Diesel. Thanks for your help. Also, I have 4" SS exhuast from the turbo back, AFE Stage 2 Progaurd 7, and the Edge Comp Box, gauges are going to be install when I get a few good opinions on locations to tap....what else would you guys think I might need to make my 5pd run even better (it already runs good in my opinion) Thanks Again!

 

right on one of the 2 humps of the exhaust manifold outlet

Thanks, how about the boost tapping?

 

i drilled a hole and installed a fitting right on my intake tube...pretty simple and clean

 

Did you use the 1/8" NPT tap for both the EGT and Boost? Thanks

 

honestly I am sure they were different sizes but I cant remeber for the life of me.

 

Thanks for your posts, can you send me a pic of your boost tap too?

 

I could, but the truck isnt here...its geting a VP put on (again) at least this time its a hotrod VP woohooot!!

 

This should help with install questions.

They are using a 1/4" thermocouple for the pyro. Some are 1/8" and some are 1/4". If you have one that is a 1/4" then you can use these instructions. If you have a 1/8" thermocouple lead, then you will need a drill bit that is 1 size smaller. Mine is 1/4", so I dont know what drill bit you would need to use for the 1/8", but I'm sure someone will chime in and let ya know. Hope this helps.

 

For boost there is a 3/4" plug in the driver side of the block just below the head and right above the fuel filter. Just insert the end of an extension with a ratchet and remove that, then all you need is a reducer that you can get from home depot or where ever and install it there. That's where I put mine anyways and it works great!!
