Well it is pretty straight forward. I wish I would've taken pics when I installed mine.
First figure out where you want to install it. Run your supplied tubing from there, through your dash, under it, on under the drivers side dash there are a couple of grommets within reach that go under the hood. Carefully run your tubing threw one of them being careful not to kink it. On the back of the intake you will see the main vacuum line that runs into the turbos wga. Replace it, run a t into it, run your vacuum line into the t. Use hose clamps or zip ties where you need them to hold everything together.
Use your supplied instructions to mount the gauge.
As far as the lighting for the gauge. You can hook into your headlight wiring so it is lights up when they are on. Or.find a fuse that comes on when the key is turned on, and go from there.
You can find fuse taps at any auto parts store to run your wiring off of.
