If you want it done today, then drilling and tapping is the way to go. It's honestly a better way to go anyway. Just remove the horn,drill it, tap it, and put it back on. You could have had it all done by now if you weren't wasting time in front of your computer.

On a 2nd Gen 24V there is a extra plug in the head next to the MAP sensor. It a 3/4" NPT hole... So I used a 3/4" to 1/2" steel bushing and a 1/2" to 1/8" NPT brass bushing and hooked up my boost gauge...

Look around there could be one for ya...

Thanks guys for all the help, I tapped into the back side of the horn. Drove the truck to work today to see how things are working. The boost gauge never went past 10 -15, I didn't really get on it, just regular driving, the gauge doesn't move until I apply acceleration, is this right? The pyrometer never went past 900, it mostly stayed around 600 until I hit a hill, then it would go up to 900, as soon as I let off it drops pretty quick to almost 300. The probe is pre-turbo. Does this sound about right?
