Westach Gauge Installation

Hopefully someone who has installed the Westach EGT gauge will be able to answer a question. The instructions for the 1/8" probe say to drill a 5/16" hole and then to tap it with a 1/8" NPT pipe tap. Is this correct? I have not looked at the 1/8" NPT tap but, 5/16 is 2 1/2 times as large as 1/8. I would like to get the gauge installed today but I can wait until Monday and call Geno's. Thanks in advance for the help.
