Do you have a 12 or 24 valve? Both can be done without drilling. Good instructions here http://www.dieselpage.com/gimain.htm

I have 3/4" x 1/8" for the 24 valve. With this fitting you don't have several fittings. Sam

I sure wouldn't pay $18. 00 for a fitting! There are two plugs in the intake manifold right behind the fuel filter near the MAP sensor. I forget the sizes (they're not the same), but both are common pipe-thread fittings and take a square-drive extension to remove. I went to Ace Hardware and found a reducer that takes one of them down to 1/8" (cost buck or two). Then I screwed in the 1/8" fitting that came with the boost gauge.

You can also get a "T" fitting from NAPA and use that were you waste gate elbo screws into the turbo.
