Drill and tap here for the pyro:

Get one of Piers intake bolts and tap for boost here:

or use the test port on back below the map sensor, or drill and tap the intake horn.
If you have a mag-hytec trans pan you can put the sender here:

If you dont have a mag hytec pan you can weld a bung on the stock pan to thread a sender in there or get the 95 tranny cooler line that has a port already in it.

Re:got my gauges
I just went through the gauge installation a few months ago. The crossover tube for the 95 is the way to go. Dodge part # 5011244-AA $106.00 is the number on the invoice. I got this number from Chace Aldridge at WTTD. If you get the tube it will be clear where it goes when you get under the truck. Get a pan ready you will lose a little trany fluid, but the sending unit is located in a good spot. This line has the best fluid temp sample you can easily get to.
The boost was easy, mine went in a plug on the intake next to the map sensor.
The pyro only looks scary.
When I drilled my hole I used high temp bearing grease on the tip of the drill. Drill a little clean off the tip and put on more grease. Same with the tap. When you are done use a magnet to pick up any pieces that fall into the manifold. Use one of those pocket magnets that looks like they are on a radio antenna. Fish around until the magnet comes up clean. Keep pushing the magnet as far as you can in every direction, or you can take off the turbo and then drill it. Do it the way you feel comfortable doing it. Do a search on gauges this has been a well talked about subject.
Others will be along to correct or agree before too long.
Be patient take your time this will be worth it.
Good luck

Re:got my gauges
Go get the trans line. What's another hundred thrown in the pot anyway? This way, the sender reads the hottest fluid out of the trans. There is a check ball in the fitting that enters the heat exchanger, right where the new line attaches. You can pull that out as well if you like.
