You need to find a spot on your boost line and place a t-fitting in it, then run the boost line through a firewall into your pillar pod, then run the electric from your gauge to your headlight controls....thats the easiest....

I have an aftermarket radio and I want to mount the boost gauge beside that, anywhere else I could run the cable? I can holesaw and mount the gauge beside it, I just need to know where the cable/hose should run

where ever you can make it work, theres no right or wrong place, its a matter of location...just make sure everything is wired right meaning the t-fitting and your electric, you need to run a ground wire to something and you need to have your electric lighting work, its most easy to hook it to the back of your headlight switch assembly

Um when you purchase a boost gauge it should come with everything you need to install it.

That was my guess, but I figured better safe than sorry.

Thanks
