heres my step by step guide! i have fitted mine by causing no damage whatsoever to the veh, however to avoid any damage i have disconnected the cigarette lighter.
i also only have pictures of the old gauge and not the new janspeed supplied one
hope this helps
first i tapped the true vacume from the fuel pressure regulator, instead of cutting the excisting hose i just added a bit of extra hose, extra hose is the red arrow, the origional hose is yellow and the white hos is the pipe to the gauge, ensure this is the one with the small brass restrictor in the t piece. the extra t piece is there cause i have a dump valve

i then took off the window wipers (mark their position before you remove) and remove the plastic cover underneath. i ran the vacume hose over the top of the engine and into the bulk head over on the passenger side of the car, just above the battery on the right ya can see where its feed in

behind this is a rubber gromit, feed the hose through here

in side the car i have taken out the glove box (4 torx screws not sure the size and ensure you unplug the light on top of the glove box) and disconected the centre console. at the rear of the consol there is the cup holder take a firm grip and lift it. it should pop outta place, underneath you will find a 10mm plactic nut and take off. with both the seats fully slid back you will find a torx screw under the seat in line with the adjustment bar, romove the passenger and driver side. then in the footwell on both sides you will find another screw. In total on the centre consol there is 1 10 mm nut and 4 torx screws. right inside the footwell are two plastic cards, unscrew these also. pull the handbrake up as far as it will go and lift the rear of the consol. it should look like this

the vacume hose comes from the rubber gromit right up here behind the fuzes, ignore the sensor the hose goes into, on the janspeed supplied gauge the vacume hose runs straight to the gauge

i fed the hose across to the back of the cigarett holder using cable ties to keep it tidy
this is where ya might run outta hose! just get anothe couple metres and a straight one to one vacume connector. because i didnt want to cut the excisting wires in the car i unplugged the cigarette lighter, its this black box here, brown is power.

i crimped two spade plugs onto the gauges wires and plugged them in. the orange wire is a dimmer which i decided not to connect (dims the gauge when the cars lights are on). One final test then put the car back together. i used an old holder to keep the gauge in place. i have pics of the old gauge but none of the new

i aint a fan of gauges all over the dash and have it only for reference if the car isnt running right
