Default INstalling gauges?

ok guys.. so I got my gauges, and I am totally not prepared to install them.
Gauges I have to install are..
Mech Boost
Electric Fuel Preasure
Electric Oil Preasure
Mech water temp

I have some questions.. here is a picture to go with the questions..



Mechanical Boost.. should I cut the hose marked as green and put the T fitting in there? I think thats the vacuum line right?
Electonic Fuel Preasure.. the hose marked with red runs into the fuel rails.. should I get some sort of T adapter that will allow me to mount my fuel preasure gauge to that hose?
Electonic Oil Preasure.. I have no idea where to screw the sensor unit in
mechanical water temp.. I had planned on using this to keep an eye on the intercoolers water temp.. and I have no idea where to put the bulb..

any and all help would be appreciated.. I have only a small idea where to start hahahaa

the green is right for the mechanical boost gauge, just make sure the T adapter fits tight. The one that came with my autometer gauge seemed to small so i got a new one from discount auto for cheap.

You need a fuel rail adapter to screw a fuel pressure sender into. The sensor on top of the fuel rail that the green labeled vaccum line connects to gets raised up and the adapter goes underneath it. do a google search for fuel rail adapter 05 mustang or search on ebay. Most of the fuel rail adapters are meant for the fuel feed for nitrous, but they work for connecting a gauge. Not sure about the other gauges.

Ordered the adapter for the fuel rail..
Thanks for the info on the boost.

I saw a site where a guy did the oil preasure gauge.. and he did this on his 2000 stang..

Ok guys.. chime in if I am doin something stupid.. but I read somewhere that a guy used a sandwich adapter to install both a oil preasure and a oil temp gauge?
