i think he means spur it off the standard one in the dash, if thats the case i dont think you can, its just as easy to set it up with the vac pipe in the engine bay, is it electronic or mechanical??

the wires are for the illumination iam guessing if its a mechanical one, you should have a nipple on the back for the vac pipe to go on, then its a case of passing through to the engine bay probably past the grommet behind the dash, you will need a t piece connector to tap into a vac pipe.

so you sorted now buddy :) the illumination cables will connect to your stereo and just run the pipe from the nipple on the back of the boost gauge through the gromet which you can find behind your pedals you cant really miss it...then simple job of connecting the T-piece into the vac pipe and then connecting the pipe from the nipple on the back of the gauge to the piece and your done my friend lol! :rockon:
