You'd need:

- Vacuum hose about 2-3m length (to be cut to exact length later)
- Tee piece
- signal wires if ones on the gauge are fairly short
- Soldering iron (replacable with electrical tape)
- Heat shrink (replacable with electrical tape)
- Wire cutter + stripper
- Multimeter
- Cup of hot water

======
Thread the vacuum line from the cabin into the engine bay, this way you have shorter distance to pull through the firewall. Locate your electrical wires, I had to use +12V ignition, +12V battery, 0V Earth for mine. Use a multimeter to locate the wire, suggest locating a ground wire first so you can use a reference to locate the +12V wires.

Either solder or twist+tape them together, choice is yours. Make sure you thread the heat shrink before you solder the wires, happen to me countless time where I had to redo the soldering because I forogt the heatshrink.

Finally, connect your hose to the intake manifold. You would need to either cut the existing one or use new hoses to fit the T-piece in place. If hoses are too tight, dip it in hot water for few mins which should expand and soften it up to fit.

Good luck

And yes, don't forget your gauge cup!
