Basically, just mount it, run the wires and tee off a vacuum line and run the line. It's a pretty simple install. Shouldn't take very long, except for runig the wires. If you're n/a, it'll only show vacuum, obviously. Hope this helps!

Yes because boost gauges read manifold pressure.

Rice Rice baby (vanilla ice music in the back ground). LOL...I had my Boost gauge in my car about 2 weeks before I got my turbo installed. I think everyone does it. Just put it in there and run the wires and just T into a vacuum line. Its easy. It reminds me of a Video I saw that had a honda guy in it and he had a boost gauge. when he was asked about he said "Chicks dig vacuum" LOL

you have vaccume lines mostly around the back of the intake manifold, and you will run one to your blow off valve soon as well. just tap it close to the manifold and you'll be fine, probably any vac would be fine, i just feel that you get a more accurate/quicker reading closer to the manifold, dunno bout that though..
btw, in my calmap software, i read -3.9psi at idle, is that normal?
