Thanks man! I guess I have more work cut out for next weekend...

Any tips on installing? I've heard soo many things. Grease on the bit, drill it then fish the shavings out with a magnet. Plug the exhaust 90% of the way and blow it out as you drill. Drill it and start the truck but don't let the turbo spin up just bump it. I guess a combination of those wouldn't hurt...

Be sure to use anti-seize on the end you'll thread into the manifold.
