A nice easy spot is on the drivers side exhaust manifold, between cylinder 6 and 8.

Here is a pic of mine.

I like how they match the factory gauges.

Did you get the set?

Best place is in the driver side exhaust manifold, between the last two cylinders.

I drill it with the engine running, and tap it with the engine running or just grease on the tap. But now I see you don't have a turbo, so however really, but above method is preferred.

didn't have the cash for the set lol I figured the pyro was the most important so that's what I bought thanks for the tips !!

Gotcha. Lol

There's some important info for the particular tap to use, but I can't remember for sure what it is.
I know Gary (Icanfixall) has the info.

how about on a turbo? best spot? just on the exhaust inlet port?

 

[91ididiesel]

the closer to the turbo the better would be my guess

 

[tapdancewilly]

That's what I was thinking.

Yeah haha probably just pull it out and do it. Gotta pull it out anyhow.
