What gauges type of guages, EGT, Oil Pressure, Boost, etc...?
Make sure you got all the sensors and fitting you need to get them installed. That will help greatly on the installation of the gauges.

Just take off the IC. It's a biach to install if you leave it on. I took my IC off to do a BOV install. Quick and easy.

The clip won!

So I took it off and slipped on the hose to the BOV and it seems to be holding.

HOWEVER...I don't seem to be hearing the BOV that much...only past 5K and not everytime.

DO YOU ALL THINK that I need to lube the piston? WD40? KY? Astroglide?
