    I wish I had the answer to your question. I have recently been shopping for a boost gauge myself. I have been running the "ECOMETER" on top of my steering Coulomb but am looking for an additional gauge showing boost/vac. With the whine that my SC makes it would be nice to see the pressure as well .

    pretty simple. connect to power wire, signal wire aka accessories source, body ground and tube to SC vacuum source. don't know if you're a 1st gen or 2nd gen. if 2nd gen I wouldn't put it in the A pillar if you have air bags there.

    No, just let them know you need an adapter for a nylon hose to a rubber hose. Simple.... done.
