Its a special tap, and i have no ideal why they say its 1/8 because its much larger then a standard 1/8 tap. Also the tap is tapered so you dont run the tap all the way through the hole. I took a bunch of pics, and ill create a small thread on tapping the y pipe.

Btw i have 3 DM-200, and a IAT sensor, Boost/vac and A/F sensor moduel. Ive read i can datalog off of it, but havent tried tinkering with it all that much. I can do bar graphs on the gauges though.
Similar to what I did only I used a standard 1/4 NPT tap for the boost and a 1/4 tap for the IAT sensor. After a few years of monitoring, I decided to go "sleeper" and removed all my gauges...
