This is fairly easy with a vacuum gauge and would be even easier with an electric one.
Drop your glove box to gain access to the hole in the firewall. You can run it where ever you want, this just seemed the easiest to me. There are two screws under the trim piece to take out, then its just clips. Pull gently and it will all come off. Be sure to unhook your lamp.
This is what you are after, there is a rubber boot on the engine side, i just poked a hole in it with a knife and fed it through, this will keep it from rubbing on stuff.
Of course where and how you run the tubing will be different depending on where you are mounting your gauges, but this is how i ran mine. Straight shot from the glove box. For the power I just spliced into the cigarette lighter. I used the lighters ground as well. As I wanted amber all the time for my color twisted the red and orange wires together before splicing them bot to the lighters power. If you want something different the instructions will show you which wire to hook up for the effect youre looking for.
I ran the line behind the heatshield to try to keep it from melting. There is just barely enough line to do this.
You can use any vacuum line but i just went with the easy on to get to. I used the one that goes to the BPV/BOV. Just cut it and install the T-fitting. The end with the brass nozzle goes to the gauge. Dont get that mixed up or your BOV may not function.
Here it is all put together.
Test everything before you start putting stuff back together.
