It goes in place of that little plug right below the intake manifold (where the intercooler pipe hooks too), on the driver side of the engine. It's 1/8" NPT

If you're smart you do this, if you're a edit like me then you drill and tap the intake horn for 1/8"NPT and put it there. You won't need the clear plastic hose included in the kit.

About 2" away from the turbo in the mainfold and on the back 3/4 mark. DO not put it right in the middle as the manifold is divided.

The temp gauge is awesome for whatever you want. Some ideas are outside the cab for outside air temp, in the intake for intake air temp, or use it as an oil temp gauge.

where do you put the sensor for oil temp without drilling and taping the oil pan? i bought the oil filter adaptor from glowshift but its to small for the filter.
