    Question pyro & boost Guages

    I did mine in A Campground, you need the right drill size and tap like the instructions says. Grease your drill and tap so the shavings stick to the drill and tap. Do not let the drill sink in and tap it slowly not to break the tap. I found the manifold casting was hard, so make sure you back...
