lol turn the caps off. Anyways thats a mech gauge. So just buy a T fitting and cut the vac hose coming off the bov. Put the T hose in and then get a 1/4 to 1/8 connector and connect the boost line to that. Run it through the firewall into the car. Then to hook up the gauge lighting you will need to tap into a power source. There are 2 bolts to get the bottum of the dash off. Once under tap into a 12v source and run the other wire which is the ground to a good ground point. This all sounds confusing so goto www.scoobymods.com and look for the post on installing a boost gauge.
