Going to be buying an aftermarket boost gauge soon. Are some better than others, and how do I hook it up, I assume just run a vacuum line either through the firewall or the door trim into the car?

I drilled a small hole over by the CMC and hooked up to the map sensor with a vacuum tee. I got power for the light from the light switch harness. Found the dimmer wire and hooked the positive side up to it and grounded the negative..
