RE: boost gauge install
just make life easy and drop the lower dash on the driver side...it comes out with like 3-4 bolts. Theres two under the covers in the front.
The fuse block is under a plastic flap on the left side of the dash. It pulls off..
Just get a test light.. find out with fuse gets power with the parking lights on..and thats where you get your illumination from If i remember correclty its the third small fuse all the way on the right side of the block...its a 5amp i think?. Then under the dash theres like a relay box with all wires being held down by bolts. One bolt is a contstant 12 v and one bolt is a ignition 12v. All you do is losten the bolt..theyre 10mm. slide the wires in and tighten the bolt back down For the ground...theres a ground bolt with a bunch of grounds going to it on the left right near the floor. Losten that up..put the ground in and tighten it down. As far as snaking the wires through the firewall for the boost reading... I took the cal screens off...and ran them through the plasdtic box where the computer sits under the hood. Just undo the top..its like (5) 8mm bolts and you'll see the silver computer and right under it you can run anything through you want..and it comes right down under the dash.
I just did mine recently..it came out nice.. It took me about 2 hours..but it was the first time i worked on the car and wasnt familiar with anything so i took my time.
Good Luck
