if its electrical did they provide a sensor of any type? I would assume they would have provided a boost/vacuum sensor of some sort that would register readings back to the gauge from whereever your source is (vac manifold, etc).

a mechanical gauge would just run capillary tubing from the source back to the gauge

what kind of guage is it?

did you read the instructions?

yes, electrical gauges use a sending unit, which a vacuum source it plugged into, then wires go from the sending unit to the guage.
