a tap, to put thread into something, on your egt probe you'll have to screw it in to the manifold and do this you'll need a tap, the directions you got with your guages should tell ya what size ya need

i was lazy and did the BD manifold swap on my driver side, worked out great.

You can just use a Tee to tap into the wastegate line where your boost increase valve is, use some 1/4 barb fittings and a tee which can be found at most part stores.

mine used to look like this
