Default Trans and Pyro gauge questions

OK, I know 18wheelers have manual transmission temperature gauges. Can you do one on a Dodge 6spd? If so, where would a man drill and tap to get the reading you need?

Ok, on the pyro, I know this is an ongoing debate, but I'm new and need experienced advice. Pre or post turbo and safe numbers for each?

yes u can, but its not really necessary on a manual.

You can dill and tap the transmission pan, just drain the fluid and drill and tap the pan.

put your pyro after the turbo and dont exceed 1400 for extended periods or 1600 for more than a second or two.......

Put the Pyro right in through the exhaust manifold. Just drill and tap unless your ready for the 3 piece manifold and most of them come already tapped for the probe.
