Pyro goes in the drivers side manifold right before it turns up into the uppipe. There is a flatish spot to drill and tap.

Your fuel pressure sounds normal for a cam driven fuel pump.

Yes you can use a sd fuel pump but there is much more to it than just throwing it on. You need to delete the fuel bowl/pump, add pre and post filters around the electric fuel pump, add a regulator, and do some work with fuel lines...

I have mine set at 68psi at WOT I might drop 1 psi. I have my pyro in the drivers side manifold right before it connects to the uppipe. You can use a SD fuel pump but you will have to convert to electric fuel. Im running a SD fuel pump now.

if you have occasion to take off your turbo, a good place to put your pyro might be in your turbine housing where I put mine, but just so that it is reading your drivers side exhaust bank

I want my sensor right next to the cylinder so I know exactly what my temps are.

mine is in the drivers manifold about 2 inches before it connects to the uppipe.
