How can that be a boost gauge? I think you have an exhaust gas analyzer; an oxygen sensor, either narrow or wideband which will help get the mixture dead-on. Hopefully your gauge matches your sensor.

Most O2 metering gauges can be clamped directly to the O2 wire without messing with the computer. Keep the length of wire short that attaches to the o2 sensor wire to the gauge....super long wire runs will throw the readings of the gauge off a bit.
