Default Turbo Boost Guage?

I was considering adding a turbo boost guage. Also wondering if anyone had any input regarding the ease of installing one.
Are we looking at a all day job or are they fairly easy and not too time consuming.
I wouldn't mind a little advice and product info on the install if anyone has installed one.


Thanks,
Mark

two hours and on a dificulty level of 1-5 I give it a 1.5.

the hardest part was trying to find a way to tap into a power source for the light.

most boost gages tap into the intake by removeing a bolt and installing a feed-through type bolt that hooks into a rubber hose. If you want pics of how mine tapped in just let me know, I also have a pic in my gallery showing 35# on a stock engine

THANKS FOR THE INFO DREW.

I LOOKED AT YOUR PIC'S AND I SAW THE GAUGE.

I'LL HAVE TO CHECK OUT A FEW.

I DIDN'T THINK IT WOULD BE TREMENDOUSLY HARD BUT I JUST THOUGHT I'D ASK.


THANKS,
MARK
