    what kind of guage? if it has the little plastic line just run it to a vacume line and splice in a T fitting.you can buy a brass fitting and put brass nipples on each side of the splice and use the correct compression fitting on the boost guage line in the middle of the T,it should come with a compression fitting. ace,homedepot,or howard brothers have tons of fitting to choose from. the electrical is pretty easy too. run your ground(black wire) and your red to head light switch.i ran mine to the fuse box.find the head light fuse and splice into the wire behind the fuse box to the switch.all this worked for me with no trouble. hope this helps.
    yes i am....

    got the $$ then take it to battleground. if u short then do it yourself. very cheap/quick. just ask any turbo guys you see on the street and they will most likely help/show you. based on what BD wrote on previous post that is about right.

    hookin up a boost gauge doesn't take long.. run the hose tho the firewall.. find a vacuum line.. cut it or find the end of it put the T fitting in and hook up the hose's... takes an hr if u dont have the gauge in its spot.. save your money take and hr and ask one the the turbo guys to point out the vacuum line they use... guessing turbo and supercharges are about the same... vacuum line wise all vacuum lines will show boost.

    No they don't. some are on vaccume canisters or the back side of a one way valve.. there are alot of different ways vaccum line can be routed, also some are controlled by various things in the car such as idle control valves, water recirculator valves, and everything else. Also when tapping into some lines it can affect the smoothness of the way things operate ,for example the FPR will be screwy on some cars if you tap into its line. etc..

    I didnt mean all that to sound dick if it did but i just didnt want people to think it is as simple as tapping "any" vaccum line.
