Its not too bad. The worst part about it for me was the scary thought of drilling into my manifold. After I did it, I realized I was worried over nothing. There are some really good posts on here if you do a search. Thats where I got all my info.

Agreed it's not to bad, the wiring takes a bit of time to get it looking good, but isn't to hard. Dieselmanor has good instructions.

Their instructions make it a breeze. They make a nice kit with everything you need for install. I think you can download the instructions if you got your set-up elsewhere.

They actually have a replacement Hotline for the tranny cooler with an inline gauge port. Just replace the line, and screw in the gauge probe---very easy!

Cant go wrong with The Pricols or the Isspro. Both match factory pretty good.

Put AutoMeter boost/pyro in last weekend in about 2-3 hrs. Piece of cake. wiring was the hardest for me, but like has been said before Diesel Manor instructions are key.

I didn't do any research on were to buy gauges and I got Autometer's from RPMoutlet. Big mistake, RPMoutlet is a joke to say the least. The Autometer A-pillar also matches like crap, NOT impressed with Autometer or RPMoutlet, neither will ever see my business again I ordered parts like the boost bolt etc that autometer's SHOULD have come with from dieselmanor, and they were very good to deal with.
