Welcome aboard man.
For the boost, most mount it in the intake horn.
For the pyro, pre-turbo is more accurate. Put it in the manifold.
There is plenty of info on where in the manifold to drill and tap.
Go to this page and check the links for the pyro and boost gauge installs on Dodges

boost --> get a boost bolt as it replaces an intake bolt with a special bolt that has a hole through it and 1/8" NPT port. VERY easy and convenient.
pyro --> PRE turbo, just as hotdram's link shows.
also, since you already have a comp you should already have a fuel pressure gauge. actually, you should already have a fuel pressure gauge whether comp or no comp.

For the pyro mine is just like everyone elses on this board, it'd pre-turbo. My boost gauge is hooked up though a test port on the side of the block. I just removed a big pipe plug and hooked it in there. I had to gather up a couple fittings i had laying around to reduce it to 1/8 or whatever size it is.

Scroll down a little to find the bolt. Says that it's $18.

I went pre turbo on the pyro like what is normally suggested/accepted, and drilled and tapped (and painted) the intake horn for the boost. Happy with the results too.
There's some pics in my gallery.
