Default Standard boost

Hi i recently bought a V70 T5 1998 in whitefor £100 (absolute bargain). I had to replace the steering rack 2 rear shockers and a rear break caliper. Got the car on the road for £600 in the end that included taxing, mot and buying it so well chuffed.
Now the question is what boost do they run standard? I would also like to fit a boost gauge but would like to know how big of a job is it to do and if anyone has fitted one could they give a brief description.
Thanks in advance Jimmy

You should be around 7-10 psi boost.
The boost guage isnt bad at all. You need to mount it then run a vacuum line to outside to the intake manifold.There is a tube of the corigated looking insulation that goes from inside to outside that allows you to run the line through.

Hardest part about installing the Gauge is the lighting....that is if you never done itbefore.

Lighting hard? Maybe trying to hook it up to a 12v source.

I mean other then that the bulb is in the gauge already usually.
