I just bought an Auto Meter Phantom boost gauge. I've never installed one before. Does anyone have any tips or advice to direct me for ease of installation? Thanks.

Well for starters, there is a tube that comes thru the firewall that runs up to the stock gauge. Between the firewall and the stock gauge there is a connector that you you can take apart and use as your connection point. You can get a tee and put it in there and hook your new gauge to the tee or (and this is what I did) you can just leave the stock gauge disconnected and hook the new gauge to the tube coming thru the firewall. I found the tee and straight fittings at an auto parts store. It's pretty simple to do. Just make sure that the connections are nice and tight so you don't leak pressure and end up with a low reading at the gauge.
