Pre turbo is the only way to go. We always use a vac to suck out the particals we can, then start the truck without the probe installed. The hole provides less resistance than the charger, The flakes will come out the hole. Not to mention there should never be anything big enough to cause problems in the first place. I always center punch, Small bit, then a 21/64 bit

The common place for a boost gauge is under the fuel lines. You'll find two 1/4 (IIRC) ports , the one closest to the front of the truck is most commonly used!
Fuel pressure...What gauge do you have and I'll give you some ideas!

It will be between the pump and head, under injector lines. Some folks get pressure off the fuel filter housing, thats the cleanest install that I've seen yet on a truck with factory fuel filters!

The fuel filter housing has a banjo bolt that can be changed for a version with a 1/8NPT port in the top of the bolt IIRC that allows you to get fuel pressure at the entrance of the fuel filter. I'm sure some of the guys that have done it will drop in soon!
