Aeroforce scan guage for spot 2. There is a line with a T fitting under the snout you can tap that boost guage into iirc.

HercMan is correct on this, T fitting under the snout, tap that to the boost gauge. i have a Faze Gauge set up in my car, and i found it really easy to set up and use, like plug and play smile . what other guages are you thinking? i would do a Boost Gauge, and a Tranny Temp gauge.

if you have the money do an aeroforce. I have oil pressure, tranny temp and boost. Wideband and aeroforce are next.

What's the point of the boost gauge? You have one above the air vents. No point in reading the number really.
Just save and get the Aeroforce for that. The only thing you want other than Aeroforce is a gauge for tranny temp, oil temp/pressure, and wideband. I have aeroforce and wideband.
I can view tranny temp on it. The only thing I don't have is oil, and I really don't care to read that really.

that thing in the DIC is worthless. if i go WOT it is filled up instantly. Its good on the stock pulley, and thats it. Oil pressure is important, if you wait until the oil light comes on, its already too late

I've got an Autometer, tapped in below the snout and routed through the firewall at the passenger footwell. For all my scanning duties, I've got the PT. But when I'm cruising without it, I'd prefer to know what boost I'm actually making. It can at least let you know that everything is up to snuff.

Besides, analog boost gauges look cool. My DIC one gets 1-2 blips when I'm not even laying into it really hard. :p

Under the glove box, it should be labeled with a big white sticker. ChiTown's was in back of the fuse box and it was hidden pretty well but it's not that hard to find.

This A/F pigtail makes it easier to hook up your gauge: Air Fuel Pigtail

Air/Fuel gauges are the most pointless gauges you can get, they are nothing but a lightshow. But they are pretty cool to look at.
