It's fairly straight forward. The first time you wire up any gauge might be a slight challenge, but a boost gauge is the easiest one to start with.

Would you like someone to fly over the the UK to fix it for you?

Check the oil pressure sender. It has a spade connector on it that can either fall off or get dirty. It is possible that the sender has failed, but check to make sure its connected and that a little cleaning won't help.

Your car is at serious risk being in your hands. You obviously dont know anything about cars in general, let alone anything RX7 specific. I mean come on, you dont even know what a boost gauge is or what its for. Not to be a dick, but you NEED to read the entire FAQ that somebody just posted the link to. If you dont, I can guarantee your motor will be gone within a few months. Spend a few nights reading the entire thing. You will be much happier in the end.

Oh, and if your thinking about buying an intercooler for a change in sound from the car, you truely have no clue what its for. Dont mod the car until you know more about it.
