ahhh.. you can tap into the vacuum. at least you can on the GT. the gauge should come with a little splitter you put in there and plug the vacuum and the gauge into.

You wont get an accurate boost reading considering your car doesnt produce any boost.

While i understand the need for a boost gauge, please wait untill the car is boosted. It might save you from looking like a numbnut [:'(]
