which gauges? boost and EGT I would imagine. Not much to it.

Boost is easy, remove the intake plenum, drill and tap a hole, screw in your fitting, run the hose through the firewall, mount the gauge, I tapped directly into the dimmer to run the backlight on mine, but there's lots of options for that.

EGT, drill a hole in the downpipe if you want it mounted post-turbo, in the exhaust manifold if you want pre-turbo, and the rest is the same.
