Unless you have the sending unit its pretty well worthless.

Boost gauges usually have a way to attach a vacuum line to them.

It looks like a mechanical boost gauge to me, but I can't tell if it has a vaccum port. Saab uses VDO gauges from what I remember, so I'm sure its "possible" to use it if there's a way to attach the vaccum line...How did you take it out of the Saab in the first place?

The thing with that guage is that it doesn't look too accurate...7psi or 14psi...Spend like ~$30 and get a better one.

Do your self a favor, throw that POS in the garbage and dig in your pocket---you dont have to dig too deep, its not like you need a Greddy gauge or anything.
