3/16 x 2 to 1/8 x1 barb adapter and a couple miniature zip ties will do the
trick.  WRT power, get a test light, go under the dash on DS, test the row of
power studs looking right at you.  Several choices there for you.  Remove one
of the nuts, put the power lead on, you are done.  That said, if you are
doing a boost guage, you may want to consider tapping one of the center
console switches for the dash lights (allowing dimming function).  Using test
light, ground one end, and poke the back of any of the switches until you get
dimming function power.  I believe the S cars use grey/purple for this.
Scotch clip that wire to your boost guage.

I'm in the process of running the 1/8" tubing from a 'T' off the stock
pressure tube at the ECU.  Would someone who's BTDT care to comment on the
need for a clamp of some sort at these tubing connections?  They are not
that easy to get to and I don't want them to be blowing off when I'm at max.
boost.  If they do need a clamp, what have people used that works?

Also, I am planning to tap into power from the driver's footwell area.  I
need a switched 12v and a ground.  Any guidance will be appreciated.  TIA
