I'll eventually fix it up all nice in the console, but will be a while until I get a good block of tinkerin' time.

You can just hook it up and it will work OK. I used my MityVac as a temporary boost gauge for a couple days. Just make sure you run the line through the firewall and do not try to just run it through the door frame.
