I know this is probably a stupid request, but can someone post of a picture of where the waste gate hose is, so I can "T" into it for my boost gauge ? I am still learning about diesels and want to make sure that I tap into the correct hose.

Thanks....

Follow the intercooler tube back to the engine on the driverside. There will be a blue hose connecting it to the turbocharger. Follow the turbocharger about 1" after the blue hose stops and you will find a 1/4" black hose that connects to the wastgate on the passengerside of the turbocharger. The 1/4" black hose is the one you want.

Here is what I did. Not the best install, but that will be changing as soon as the Big Brown Truck drops off that box from Super Diesel.

Thanks. Found the waste gate hose.

Just curious, is the boost pressure the same on the output of the turbo as it is going into the intake (after going through the intercooler) ?

It will be lower after the intercooler. How much I don't know. Shouldn't be much.
