Very wise to install a pyro! They may not be cheap, but its cheaper than a $300 piston and a rebuild
Its really a pretty easy install as long as you have everything you need to get the job done.
The manifold is divided into 2 sections (cylinders 123/456) and their is a divider plate inside the manifold just before the turbo that keeps them seperated. You want to measure EGTs in the rear bank of the manifold about 3/4"" towards the engine from the turbo flange.
The hole can be drilled with the turbo still in place, just try your best not to get any shavings inside the manifold. Some guys use a shop vac and others grease up the drill bit to help in this situation. Also if you have a small magnet you can try that.
Ill see if i can find the diagram to maybe make this a little more clear.
EDIT: Not the one i was looking for but heres something

I ran my wiring along the top of the engine bay where some of the stock wiring and vac hoses run, then i went through the firewall at one of the existing gromets and ran it up to my pillar pod.
