Default Boost Gauge install

Welp I just got a TRD Boost gauge and I am trying to figure out how to hook this darn thing up. Anyone in my area (Kings Mountian, NC) done this or willing to offer some help for beer or food?!

i mounted mine in the cubby hole so i ran the pos/neg and nylon tubing through the existing cubby light hole. some advice: make sure you use teflon or sealing compound on the thread adapters and dont overtighten the ferrules (sleeves) because they might get crushed and cause inaccurate vac/boost readings. if you have the trd instructions, it should be real easy because they show you how everything connects. to route the nylon tubing through the firewall, i cut a little slit in the rubber gommet where the wire harness exits above the brake pedal. tap the vacuum line that goes from the throttle body to the bpv. i cut it halfway and t'd it in there. hope that helps.

Yes that helped a lot! I bought the gauge used so no instructions I just wish I had some pictures to guide me. But I will figure it out this weekend I hope..

How did you secure it in the cubby?
