New Gauges/Pods (pics)
Hey everyone, I installed a Speed of Sound dual pillar pod, an Aeroforce Interceptor scan gauge, and an Autometer Phantom II boost/vac gauge today. It took about 3 hours total, but I think I could do the whole install in 1/2 the time knowing what I know now. Isn't that always the case though. I wired the boost gauge right to the headlight switch wire, so I get light at the appropriate time. There was a ground connection behind the panel where the hood release is, so I piggybacked onto that. The Aeroforce is powered right through the OBDII port under the dash, easy install. The Autometer gauge came with a "T" connector that was a bit too small for the factory line, so I bought a new one at Autozone.
Total cost on the gauges and pod was a little over $400 from Lethal Performance, and then another $25 for misc stuff from Autozone (elec tape, wire, connectors, a larger "T" connector, etc). Thanks again to Hammeron for the install info!
I'm planning a supercharger install early next year, so hopefully I'll be seeing that gauge go above 0 soon. I'm leaning towards either a Roushcharger or the Brenspeed Saleen Stage 1, but there is still time to research a bit. Here are pics of the gauges:

Thanks man, the install was easy overall. I ran into no problems to speak of, and was just taking my sweet time. I ran the tube for the boost gauge through the grommet just above and to the left of the clutch pedal. I poked a hole in it with a small screwdriver, then fed about a foot of the tube through, and was able to easily find/grab it in the engine bay. I covered the tube with the usual black wire sheath and zip tied towards the back of the engine bay to keep it away from heat as much as possible...

I did, however I wanted a regular 'ol mechanical boost gauge with the needle on it. I'll only be running 5-6psi, depending on which blower I get, so these gauges should suffice for me.
