Default Boost Gauage Question

I was thinking about purchasing a pillar w/ a boost gauge and was wondering how difficult it is to hook up yourself. Where exactly do you hook up the guage to and is it that tough to do. thanks

Mike

I'm not sure what you want to do but a boost gauge is useless without any boost to monitor. I dont think a non-functional boost gauge would you get any style points at all

Boost gauge with no boost make no sense. If you want some gauges I would put in a fuel pressure gauge and a wideband or shift light, but hey thats just my two cents.

Shift light may be a wise decision...but a boost gauge with no boost?

Save the money for a gas...
