Gauges are pretty universal, so if you can find a write up on how to install one on any car, it's just a matter of adapting the instructions to YOUR car. I assume you have an electronic boost gauge, right? Well, all you need to do is attach the sending unit to the nipple on the UIM and then run the wire through the firewall to wherever you plan to mount the gauge. I suggest finding an unused grommet on the driver's side and using that. Then you need to ground the gauge and get power and illumination... all of which should be spelled out in ANY write up of ANY gauge in an FD. Sorry I can't help more than that!

above link looked VERY good but I just glanced thru it since I know how to put in gauges now.

search the FAQ much?

If you need a power source, put the red wire into a slot in the fuse box above the dead pedal/foot rest. A 10A-15A spot will do.

If you need more help than what is included with the gauges, then you are not qualified to install them by yourself. Find an experienced person and have them help you do it as OJT.
