The point isn't to see what the lift pump is putting out, you want to see what the VP44 is getting.

I had to buy a full tap and die set to get the tap I needed. You might need to start looking that direction. If all else fails, harbor freight is where I got mine. I used a vacuum next to the drill bit (as well as often removing the bit to clean the hole) when I drilled the hole in the manifold. Then I coated the tap in grease for the tapping so the shavings were caught in the grease and didn't drop in. I used an 8 point socket (for square head bolts) on the tap so I could get in the tight space easier when tapping.

Only person I know with a manual transmission didn't bother installing the transmission temp sensor. I probably would because I like stuff like that, but I wouldn't be concerned about that one. EGT... yeah, I'd want that.

I just installed my setup a few weeks ago, so it's fresh in my mind.
Thanks for the explanation;

Just to update: i did install the banjo right at the VP44 where the on line is from the filter..

I need to recheck that wiring tap tonight; truck runs rough and obviously not working properly, programmer states 15PSI on fuel pressure and drops to 10-12 when at 2000RPM,

I just bought the tap an die so the EGT should be done this weekend,

Could you share your performance test readings once installed?
