Ya thats where I put mine! On the boost tube next to the alternator. I removed the tube to drill and tap and put the fitting on the back side of the tube so it wasnt noticable :thumbsup:

Thanks ya'll... I had a local shop weld the bung in the trans pan and drill/tap the manifold for the Pyro.. Guess I'll run back over there today and have him drill/tap that tube.

Lol.. well, I had it drilled and tapped and I pulled out of the shop after he had closed for the day, and HOLY CRAP man that truck smoked like I never seen! I had NO POWER, and LOTS of smoke.. and every time i stepped on it i heard what sounded like the BADDEST shop vac under the hood..

Low and behold, i limped it home, and the boot was not on the lower IC tube.. no biggie, got it fixed and now ive got boost and EGT gauges hooked up.. but I lost the freakin wires to my Trans temp gauge.. :incazzato:

I hate when that happens.. Im gonna go buy a tap & dye set so i can just do it myself from now on..

Thanks for the help guys.

Ya its definatly easiar to do it yourself sometimes!!

I know what you mean about the shop vac! I was driving my Kodiak rollback with a CAT turbo motor. I was going up a hill one day and I heard a loud explosion noise in the front of the truck that sounded like my tire exploded! I limped the truck up the hill got out and the boost tube blew off... Scared the :shiiiiiite: out of me!! :skep:
