Cummins isn't much better. My price is still over $8 each. I get my sets for the shop from High Tech Turbo. Better price, plus it comes with new turbo bolts and a new turbo gasket.
So everyone that installs a pyro replaces the gaskets????? I've read both ways...don't get me wrong, I always replaced the exhaust manifold gaskets in a gasser, but several threads indicated reusing them...just wasn't sure...
I'm not wanting to drill my manifold because I have a second one that's already drilled...keep mine for good.
And the set we got from DCX was $13/gasket...pretty pricey for 6 gaskets. Guess I'll need to call Cummins...

And you shouldnt have to pull the manifold to drill and tap for a pyro. Just unbolt the turbo, stick something in there to block it, and use a magnet to get most of the shavings out.
You don't even have to take the manifold or the turbo off to install a pyro. Just let the truck idle while you're drilling into the manifold and it should blow it out. Then just coat the tap in grease and the shavings will cling to it.
Ah, thats smart thinkin. 
One time I stuck my fingers in a fan on a small block chevy at 2,500 rpm. Luckily it was just some deep cuts
