Default boost gauge install help

I asked in the boosted section but no answers. I have a vent pod, auto meter boost gauge. does any one have a write up hope fully with pictures. I actually got the gauge in the vent but the wires for the lights are too short and I don't really know the best route for the line from the T I have to insert by the supercharger through the fender or firewall to back of gauge. can someone help?

The best route for the vacuum line is running it up by the pedals and there is a foam pad that covers a "taped" off hole in the fire wall. Go through that hole and you are now in the engine compartment near the brake booster. From there it's really up to your own discretion as to where you want to "T" into a vacuum line. Personally I did it the vacuum line running to the driver side fuel rail.

As far as running power to the gauge. That is also up to your own discretion. Do you want it to be light up on key on? Or when you turn your head lights on? Or to a separate switch. Either way, you will have to increase the length of the wires to get to a power source.

I did the same as lazyboy. Wired it through the passenger kick panel with one of the add a fuse deals. I got my install info from fnsweet.com
