Hope i put this in the correct area.
sorry if i didn't.

I'm looking into getting a boost gauge but dont' have a lot of money. I was looking at some there were being sond on ebay and was wondering, how hard is it to install a boost gauge?
Is it a lot of work?
Can someone break it down for me?

thanks!

a boost gauge it really easy you hook up your power and ground 2 wires and then you run a small hose (VAC line) out into the engine and tap it into a VAC line on the intake manifold and your pretty much done

Really??
Wow that does sound easy.
I'm assuming directions come with the product.
Now to choose which one...

Sometimes the directions come with it, but it may be in japanese, or some other language.. But if not, you can find them on the net.

ya My boost gauge that I had origanally didnt have directions.... your best bet is to go google search how to install boost gauge on 2G GST so you can get it in picture for rather than us telling you word for word directions

I got some good pictures that show how to hook up a controller, but for a gauge, I would just hope it comes with directions.. A friend just hooked up an apexi boost gauge, So I could ask him if he had any directions or how he did it.. Ill be talking to him this week, if you don't get any by then.
