Personally I think it'd just be easier to just drill and tap a hole. That can be done way faster than having to take a part somewhere to have it welded. To drill a hole and tap it would take no more than 10 minutes. So I take it that there's no boost to T into....or no place to drill and tap a hole without taking the intake manifolds off?
you can use the plastic pipe
look threw these instructions for the water/meth kit it shows pictures of how to install a boost reference and a EGT probe with a stock setup hope it helps

only reason i said weld a bung is because the CAC pipe is pretty thin.. you could use a NUTSERT if you wanted

Thanks....I'll check it out. If it comes down to having a bung welded I'll do it....but I'd rather find an easier way.

The flange that is bolted to the intake manifold where the boost fitting is in the last pic...is that something that was there or something that was custom made?

Thanks man I really enjoy them!
That came with my Absolute performance EGR delete kit. Came with the plate and both block offs.

OK cool.....I'm sure its a standard thing from most companies that sell egr deletes for the 6.7 then. Thanks again.

I like the one that mounts to the rear view mirror (I'd mount it above the mirror). Looks pretty cool. I just wonder if I'd be able to clearly see the mini maxx display (I'm getting a little older and the eyes aren't what they used to be). If you had the mirror mount for the mini maxx, it'd look like a cockpit in your rig! lol...
Either way, it's going to look nice for you.

Yeah...I have my 6L and my buddy's 6L setup the same way. He really loves it and wants the gauge setup in his 6.7 the same way. This is how we both have our gauge setups with the edge insight up top where the mini maxx would be.

To the guys who have done gauge installs on their 6.7L's: Were you able to find a spot to tap into the factory dimmer circuit so your gauges dim with the factory dash? Looking through service manuals (and with a more experienced friend looking as well), we have not been able to find anything that looks like a dimmer circuit that comes out of the dash. He said it appears that none of the interior lights (stereo or ashtray) dim with the dash like they do on earlier models.

Can't you just tap directly into the wire behind the dimmer switch? That's what I normally do.

Decided to go a different route than planned with his gauge setup. Hopefully be able to get them installed somewhat today after I get the No Limit intake installed. I'll try to get some pics.
your bio says you work for ISSPRO ?
