6First off, my gauge is wrong ALL the time.  When the car is off, it doesn't rest at zero, and the amount that it is off corresponds to the amount it is off when driving.  For example, right now it's sitting at 4 in-Hg (vacuum) when off.  This means that max boost only reads 6 psi, as 4 in-Hg is roughly 1 psi.  So it's lame.

I tapped the water sender in to where the stock one used to be...right above the throttle body on the intake manifold.  You have to drill it out and tap the hole to make it work.  I'm using epoxy thread-maker and it's working fine.  With RTV it leaked like a sieve.
