How to: Install VDO Turbo (Boost/Vacuum) Gauge?

This would've helped but NASIOC is down at the moment.

What parts are needed?
Parts I've seen so far are:
  1. Turbo Gauge
  2. T-Adapter
  3. Hose Kit

Questions:
  1. How would the hoses go on the copper/brass thing? The ones that twist on to the T-fitting.
  2. Is a bulb included?
  3. Would you need the male T-adapter or regular T-adapter or what else?
  4. How would the hose from the stock BPV vacuum lines fit into the T-adapter? It's metal so how would the plastic pipe stay on it?
  5. Does the bulb include a wire? Would you need your own wires and would you have to solder it?
  6. Are bulb covers included and what color?
  7. Any other information?

Tubing kit with NPT adapters


T-adapters


This pic shows the tube going over the fitting, but in the first pic, the tube looks too small for the fitting.


This might help but he used non VDO parts (not a problem with me if it works)


Apologies in advance for my noobness and ignorance of correct terms.
