Default How to add a Intake temperature gauge

I just ordred a procharger system for the ls1. I just went with the standard plastic intake as I couldn't justify the 200 dollar upgrade. I'm planning on running 4 gauges: wideband, fuel pressure, boost, and intake temp. As far as boost is concered, I think I will just splice in a t fitting into the brake booster. I'm a bit confused as to how to add an intake temp gauge. Would drilling a hole into the procharger intake box and adding a bulkhead fitting with gaskets be a bad idea? I believe the probe for the gauge I'm using is 1/8npt. Where can I get a bulkhead fitting good for such an application? What else can I do?

Do you want a pre charger IAT or are you looking for a post charger IAT?
