im installing gauges in my 04.5 and would like to know the best place to tap in the plumbing for the boost gauge and how to keep metal shaving out of the intake, intercooler? pics would be great or referal to a good thread, wasted a night with no luck.
p.s. ( should probably just get s.d. adapter, but dont really want to wait)

Do a search on the "Hoot Method" I think it is in the DIY section. I have not done it but read it several times, very detailed on how to tap (for the EGT T-cpl).
OK I did it for you.

Also a good place to look is on Kennedys diesel site..look under Duramax Tips..its got a great picture of where to tap the manifold and good instructions as well

Boost Gauge Install,
Remove intake tube, fill intake with clean shop rags, drill and tap, shop Vac the shaving out, remove rags....BINGO.
Worked for me.
