installing a boost gauge is actually pretty simple, and any boost gauge will work but i personally would get a boost/vacuum gauge, easier to see if there are any leaks. anyway the installation like i said is pretty simple, with the gauge they provide you with some line, and some connectors. run the line from the engine compartment to the cab using any hole in the firewall that would be the most direct route to the spot you are going to put the gauge. the gauge should come with instructions about connecting the line to the gauge itself and connecting the other line is simply finding a vacuum line and putting a T in the line and hooking it up, make sure the line you are splicing into is AFTER the throttle body, if it isn't then it will not get a reading for the vacuum. mounting the gauge on the inside is completely up to you (where you want) it just make sure to leave yourself with enough slack in the line so you can remove it if necessary. finally hooking up the light for the gauge is once again fairly simple, just find a power source that is on only when your lights are on and connect it to that.
