yup.. me and reagen (equinox) just got done installing my boost gauge.. we installed it in my center consol.. it looks REALLY good.. it took us about 3 hours though.. the only problem we had was with the TINY hose that comes with the auto meter gauges.. its like a plastic hose, that is 1/8" so its hard to "T" it from the vacume lines... but yeah, after that was solved, everything else just came into place...

I will have pix sooner or later, I need to go back and zip tie the wires that I ran through my center console...
 
Which Auto Meter gauge did you get? I want the Ultra-Lite gauges. Just wondering what they look like at night...
 
yeah, ultra lite.. b/c they match my gauges in my car... it looks good at night.. the orange light around the outside of the gauge... just like our gauges..
 
what it looks like autometer ultralite

With the right fittings, it is a snap to install- plug it righ in :).

he ran the electric wires into the engine bay and tapped into the lights... not sure exactly which or where,, he did all that,, I just did the hoses..the gauge light is on when my headlights are.. it really worked out nice.. now,, I just need to go through it all and "tidy" it up a bit.. I didnt exactly mount the gauge where I wanted it, its kinda in the middle of my center console compartment, I wanted it against the wall.. I'll see what I can do..
 
Someone should do a step by step guide for a few different gauges on the MSP. I know it's simple, but some other folks might not find it to be.
