Is there an easy place to hook a boost pressure guage without tapping a new hole on a 04.5 LLY engine? Thanks for your reply and help.

Nope. Two choices... drill, or buy a Super Diesel intake manifold... which has ports 'a plenty for such things. Try here:

I used a 1/8" bulkhead fitting in the aluminum tube, very easy job. Parker fitting I believe, can find at most good hardware stores.

You could get a Aeroforce Scangauge that plugs into the OBD II port under the dash. Accurate, as long as there is not any programmer in the trucks ECM.

Thanks Guy's, I'll get the drill out.
