no need for a how to. find out the size of your pyromter threaded fitting, drill a hole, and use a tap to tap it with the same threads, and thread it in. same thing with the boost, or you can find a place that has a cap you can tap into instead. fairly simple. make your you get all your metal shavings out though you dont want those flying around in your engine
