Hi all my friend has a 96 ferd diesel and he wants me to put guages in it hes got isspro guages for it I went to put them in but found the powerstoke is different then the cummins he wants the pyro in pre turbo do you drill in the round part of the manifold or where, is it open in there or is there a divider piece like on the dodge , also where is the boost port does anyone know of a website where i can see a diagram thanks

 

Your better off doing post turbo. Its alot easier. For the boost there is a tube that goes from the turbo to the MAP sensor. SHould be over on the passenger side. Cut the tube in the middle and buy a piece of rubber tube. Heres a pic of it. I will get a pic of the motor area when my dad gets home. What you need is the top one. Send me an IM if you need help.<br><br>SD03

 

does it take a different thermocouple or bracket to put it in post turbo whats the temp diff

 

I have a tap and Die set that I made a thread inside the exhuast downpipe and put the probe in there. Differnce in temp is anywhere from 200to 400 differnce. I put post on the Excursion and towing through the hill country i hit 950* at 20psi. But aslong as you let the turbo cool to 350* or lower you will fine.<br><br>SD03

 

Heck, just drill ya a hole on the Driver side exhaust manifold just as it starts to bend back up. It's safer to watch your EGT's pre turbo than post turbo. You'll get a trueer reading by going Pre. Even the ford's stock that have a CAT (yes some do) can produce some high EGT's. SD03 is right you'll need a tap for the hole you drill. <br> DO a search on www.dieselstop.com and you'll see tons of picks and instlation instructions on how to do both the Boost and EGT guage
