you can hook it up to a vacumn line near your throttle body, so that it shows manifold pressure....

Normally Aspirated / all motor. Basically no sc, turbo or nitrous. From looking at your sig, you have a Place Racing Cold Air Intake. Unless you have some special PR CAI for you supercharger or maybe you are asking about boost gauge for your friend's supercharged maxima. A boost gauge for a none force induction is basically useless. There will be no boost

No, its for me...I am getting a Nitrous kit the ending of next month so that the reason that I have the Boost Gauge in the first place and then finding a shop to install it that I trust so it will be a while before its all done. Could not find a Nitrous gauge to match the first gauge that I bought which is Fuel Psi so I got the boost gauge. I would like to be sure the gauge's works and I was told its reads VAC, so that why I would like to install them now. If that OK with you?
