Probe port for pyro
I'm installing gauges in a new to me 03' this weekend. Any particular spot on the exhaust manifold that I should drill / tap for the best results? How about an easy port for the boost. On my 00' I only had to pull a plug out to install a fitting for the boost. Any advice would be appreaciated.
Thanks
Thanks

When I drilled/taped for the boost gauge I did it on the back side of the inlet. I guess you can drill the front but it just looked clean from the rear of it.
Let me know how the install for the EGT goes, I runied my manifold today trying to do mine. lol. Follow this link there is a picture where a fellow member taped/drilled his.

They reccomend you drill the hole on the farthest flange on the manifold. You will see where the manifold drops off and connects to the turbo, drill a hole in the port closest to the firewall. The picture in the link above pretty much sums it up.

Take a look in my photo gallery for pics of my EGT - POST turbo install - of course mine is a 4.5.... I was able to just take the wheel well liner out and it was a piece of cake. Not sure if this'll help you with an 03 though...
As far as the boost gauge is concerned, I used a boost bolt I got from Dieselmanor. The install of the boost bolt was the easiest part of the gauge installation.

Hey. I checked out your picture for the pyro fitting.& I put mine in allmost the exact same place.I was wondering what your EGT's were at full load.Mine run at 1100 degrees.Our trucks are also nearly identical.

So, my normal cruising EGT is usually 450 - 500, and 600 going up a hill or something. Now I have actually managed to get the EGT up to about 750 once, but that was at about 80 mph on a pretty good grade coming out of Santa Fe, NM.
I shut it down when the needle drops below 300.

Where I tapped it in the elbow it was plenty thick. I think I got 4-5 threads in there with the tap - maybe more. Just make sure you put some anti-sieze on the threads before you screw it in.

If its good enough for dodge, I will put mine there too.
