PRE- Turbo.....more accurate IMHO and no guesswork/math involved. It is what it is. Tranny temp went into the pressure port on my tranny. Just easier for me that way.

drill and tap the exhaust manifold (1/8" NPT tap) after the last exhaust port but before the joint at the up pipes.... run the wires and the pyro is done....

tranny temp is just like they said, use on of the extra ports on the side of the tranny... pull the old one out (the one right near the shift mechanism) and put some teflon tape on the sensor threads (keeping it off the sensor head) then tighten it up... run wires and thats done...

boost, you have options.... tie it into the map line or put it into the spyder... MOST people just put it in the map line because its much easier but thats up to you... and be super careful not to kink that boost line.... it WILL leak and hinder performance if you do
