Just like the basics, like.. where the vacuum lines tee off n stuff.. the shop is installing my turbo, and i was gonna do the boost gauge and turbo timer myself..

hook up the white wire to a light source, the black to a negative. be sure you use a silicon hose instead of that crappy plastic line they give you. tee it off the intake manifold usually the fuel pressure regulator

more like the intake manifold. you can usually use any vacuum line coming from the intake manifold. the one on the fpr is easiest to get to. note: dont tap into some vacuum source that has not accounted for pressure drop, ie before the intercooler.
