• I went to Princess Auto today and got a 2 inch vacuum/boost gauge that lights up and has 7 different colors. How do I hook this up? Is it complicated or simple?

• Just tee into the hose going to the LDA. Hope you didn't get the tinted one...

• i bought a EGT gauge (street glow i think) anyways i bought a tinted one and i can see it perfectly with no probs, car is off looks black turn the key on lights up great, might be kinda tough to see in those cars that have the gauges running up the door near the window. its all in where ya mount it in my own opinion

  The LDA sits on top of the injection pump. There is a barbed fitting on that.
  
  Here is a picture. It's not the object circled in red. The braided line with the ziptie on it is the line that you want to connect your gauge to.

• Boost gauge is installed. The gauge shows my boost hits 10 PSI maximum.
  
  
  BTW, what's that thing circled in red called?

• 10 is about stock. The thing in red is just a vent cover.
