First time doing it. All the videos and stuff that i have found are for single turbo setup, i am ruining the stock twin turbos. I have no luck finding schematics or pictures or videos.
There are 2 nipples on the upper intake manifold that you run a silicone vacuum line from one of those nipples through the firewall to your boost gauge inside. Then you wire up power and ground. Good spot for power is just above the fuse box panel on the drivers side above the kock panel. Lots of info on electronic boost gauge install on the forum just use the faq's or search function.
get some
Add-a-circuit's to piggy back the fuse panel
Some wire stripper/crimps.
A power detector pointy light thingy
A coat hanger
A roll of electrical tape
Does your gauge have a sensor unit?

really easy install.
vacuum line from one of the nipples on the uim to the sending unit then follow the the wiring instructions that came with it. nothing tricky really. just be sure NOT to connect the black wire to the black wire. it actually needs to be grounded.
i put my sending unit in the cabin to keep it out of the bay and have a vacuum line running through my firewall. my car is RHD so its easier for me but it may not be for you. i only did it so i dont have to extend the wires from the sender.
if you can wait until saturday i'll post pictures of my install just in case my description isnt good enough for you. my car is currently away and i cant snap any pictures until the weekend. but im a day ahead of you anyway so you only have to wait until friday =p
any more questions please feel free to ask

im sorry man.. im worthless... =[ heres the pictures though...
black hose to IM here
through the firewall here and out by the pedals
then along the side of the center console into the filter. i have the little black box mounted behind the radio tucked in the back.
how i mounted my gauge and how i ran the wires
i hope this helped a little bit if you havnt already figured it out...
the wiring is straight forward. i tapped into my radio harness accessory wire for both the gauge and the black box..
