This tutorial was originally for a PLX multigauge unit, a product I no longer condone. However, the install procedure is the same for all of these instruments. Here's my write up:
Step One. Remove the damn seat panel for the 150th time.
Step Two. Locate your EGT Sensor Probe install location.... Do you have an EGR Bypass?!?! BOOM!
Step Three. Remove your EGR Bypass plate and start drilling. It tells you what size bit to use.
Step Four. Tap that ass
Step Five. Install EGT Probe as far as you can into the plate.
Step Six. Install the plate and sensor probe back on the manifold.
Step Seven. Locate Power and Ground for your Sensor Modules. I choose the 12V Ignition-Switched Solenoid on the back of the firewall for power. The sensor modules collectively draw under 5 amps so stealing power from here shouldn't be a problem. If you had a Wideband Module I would NOT recommend using this power source. Find a stronger power source as wideband sensors suck up some juice. For the ground I made a ring terminal connector directly to the negative terminal
Step Eight. Did you buy the Boost Sensor Module? Obtain a vacuum tee and tap into the feed running into the top of the injection pump. This comes directly from the turbocharger compressor housing.
Step Nine. Run the vacuum, EGT Probe wires through the small opening near the back of the firewall entering the battery well. Zip tie everything onto the main harness that runs into there.
Step Ten. PROFIT. All done!
