Installing a boost gauage isn't too tricky. There are many on the market and you should be able to find one at any performance/parts store. Popular ones include Autometer (http://www.autometer.com, available at http://www.carparts.com) and VDO (available at http://www.egauges.com.) Then all you have to do is tap into a vacuum line. You can pick up a T or Y fitting from a parts store and then route the line into the cabin. On FPT cars there is already a line under the dash for the APC gauge, but you'll probably have to be more creative. On my '87 there is a big rubber plug in the fire wall accessible by removing the black cover above the pedals. You can run the line through there. Where you install the gauge is up to you. You can get a three panel gauge holder for around $20 that will fit a DIN panel in your dash or a two gauge holder that will fit the botom opening. Or you could get a single gauge pod and mount it to the A-pillar or wherever.
Good luck,
Craig
