Help with boost gauge install
Before tackling this task, I was wondering what would
be the best place to tee into for the boost line and where
the best location is to enter at the firewall? TIA for any
suggestions.

I was able to snake the boost line through the same opening where the hood release cable goes through. I cut the hose coming from the power brake booster and put the tee on there. If your running a BOV you can also tee it off of the line running to that. I hope that helps.

I slipped mione in throught the same hole as my hood release cable! Worked out well!
I used a chaser wire to poke throuh and then I taped it to that and slowly pulled it through into the cab!
Thanks,Matt

I used an old metal hanger and taped the gauge leads to it and shoved it through.
Congrats!!!

I did not wire mine into the lights I did not want to play with the harness I just picked up power in the passenger side fuse panel (keyed hot) there are a few places in the panel to get the power with out haveing to tap into the harnesses.
