for you boost guage, just the install (if its a simple one) you'll need a knife of some type (box cutter worked fine for me) and thats about it. you have to cut your T in (to put in your reference line) and cut the firewall under your steering wheel to feed the line threw. now to mount it i just put it in a pillar and used a screw driver and 2 black screws (black pillar) to mouth the pillar.

I thought i would need a grabber tool, to pull the wires threw the firewall. And basic tools radio installers use.

I'm not sure where I'm going to mount the gauges. I like to put two gauges on the instrument cluster and one on the a-pillar.

The firewall isn't that thick you can push the wire threw it.
