This may be a stupid question but, can you hook up a boost guage to a supercharger? I'm new to the whole FI idea.

Emanage blue, Emanange Ultimate ect.Guages, some sort of boost controller.That is a basic universal kit. That will require lots of fittment adjustment. It's not going to be a bolt up and done.Then you will need someone to tune it so it don't go BANG.Tuning will be key, add another 500.00 to 1000.00 for tuning.I doubt that intercooler will fit behind the front bumper brace IMO. Your going to need to know someone who can weld as well.You will also most likely need to have the trans upgraded depending on your boost level.
