If you wire the 12v connection into the gray wire on the emergency light switch, the gauge light will come on and off with your headlights as well as dim. It's really easy to do and you don't have the wires running everywhere. Pull off the silver HVAC cover by tugging on the air vents really hard and it pops right off. Then just simply splice into the gray and you're done. Short distance to run the wire and it is perfectly hidden. Also, look into NewSouthPerformance for a decent pod. :)
I'm not a fully certified mechanic. However I do know that both turbos and supers are set to a designated PSI. Like a turbo is set to 14psi at 7000rpm WOT. Same with the supercharger, i believe the Ion was 10-11psi at 6500rpm. So when you hit 6500 rpm WOT it should read 10psi, but at 3000rpm your not pushing 10psi.
the main reason I installed the gauge was for trouble shooting (leaks), looks and down the road I was planning on changing pully's and increasing the PSI.

why would you need a boost guage on a non turbo car

the Ion Redline is supercharged. The supercharger is actually visible at the beginning of the video. its right infront, hard to miss actually.

on a supercharged car the pressure stays the same right on a turbo car it goes up with rpms
