Autometer guages install

I just purchased Autometers boost guage and air/fuel guage. How much can I expect to pay to have these installed by a reputable shop? Install seems easy but I rather have a professional do the work. Can anyone here help me out with the install? thanks

very easy to do both but if you want to have the correct a/f you need something like the rear 02 sensor or something.

Just a tip
When you install the boost gauge, throw away the nylon line that comes with it. The nylon line will not allow enough air through and the gauge will read slow.
Use 1/4" Fuel hose instead, you will need to get a T fitting and about 7 feet of hose and a nipple fitting for the back of the gauge.
The install is really easy.

I got too much going on, but seriously dude, its easy.
You have a removeable grommet on the firewall between the gas and brake pedal. Pop that out and you have your pass through for the boost line.
Take power from the Fuse panel to the left of the steering wheel. Use a speed splicer and take power off the purple wire off the relay just above the fuses.
If using a pillar pod, pop the defrost vent off of the corner of the dash and you can slip the boost line and wires past the ducting to get under the dash.
