It is not hard to do at all man. The boost gauge is simple. The AFR is the only thing that my be a little tricky, cuz you have to weld the bung into the pipe. Other then that fairly simple. If I were closer i would help

Cool I'm glad you have these gauges you'll need them .

If your rear O2 sensors are turned off in the tune you can unscrew one and screw in your wideband sensor .

Boost gauge is super simple , just find a vacuum port / hose that runs from the back of the blower , cut into it and install a " tee" fitting , then connect your tubing /hose from the tee to your boost gauge .

The power and ground connection can be made in the fuse box, it's just for a light in the gauge and you'll have to tap into the vehicle lights dimmer switch also .

What kind of gauge pod do you have? I ran my wire down the a pillar thru the fuse compartment thing down the kick panel and then drilled a 1/2" hole in the firewall/floorboard put everything in a wire loom from the part underneath the carpet to where they end on the engine/exhaust
