    Easy enough just unscrew your dummy light and put the sender or tube and coupler in there Not any harder doing a boost gauge.

    Electrical for sure. You would have to run an oil line to the gauge itself if you did mechanical... mess waiting to happen

    I've never had a problem, i always pick up some nylon 1/8" air brake line. The stuff they send in the kit's are garbage. This stuff is almost un-inkable and very hard to slice, but still really flexible. The easiest way is electrical sender one wire and you are done.

    2 wires one to the gauge and the other to the ground

    I know, the sender only has one wire going to it though. The gauge will have 4 wires coming off of it all together.
