I won't be any help, but send me a PM if they're gonna be installed tomorrow. I'd like to stop by & check it out, as I'll be doing a couple of gauges in the near future. If that's cool with you, of course.

I can
do gauges, buy am doing a UTEC tomorrow. Gauges ain't hard, so I might be able to help, if you can come my way (Hickam). I have a Fluke, and tools. Where are the gauges going to physically reside (pod, pillar)?

?'s
Do you have everything needed to install? The boost gauge comes with some sh!tty vacuum line, ... you should get a fitting from Kilgo's that goes on the back of the gauge, so that you can use 'regualr' 3/16" vacuum line, then it will be easier to tap a 'T' into the BOV vacuum line. Otherwise, you'll be trying to make something to 'T' into that line (which will leave you with some big monstrosity of a 'T').
Which sensor do you have for the oil pressure? Do you have the correct fitting to fit it to the block? It needs to be metric.

I would be Glad to help out, but I'm booked this weekend! 
For the oil pressure gauge, you will need a metric fitting, or 'T', to connect it. It connects under the alternator (i think, or a/c), where there is already a sensor. So you'd just 'T' it in. Sorry I can't be more precise on that right now.
the fitting I mentioned for the boost gauge looks like this:
you can get one from Kilgo's on Sand Island Access Road.

No offense,
but if you don't have all the fittings and accessories required, you should plan this out a bit better. Some gauges come with all you need, some with most, but some come with almost none. Nolimit is right, have you done your homework as to what is needed?

I'm going to
be stuck at home as my wife is running around to go back to the mainland for a funeral. I could help you out if you can get to my house.
