I was thinking I could get some hose clamps and that would be fine. Let me know what you guys think..
Thank you!!

go to Autozone or pepboys and buy the Autometer boost line. it should come with extra fittings and the line.
then pick up a hose mender T and plug in to the line going from the back of the intake manifold to the brake booster.
near the bottom right corner of the PCM there is a rubber cap on the fire wall poke a hole in it or cut a slit into it and feed your boost line into the cab.
go into the cab and under the dash up high you'll see the other side and pull the rest of it through.
dont bend the line and feed it to the spot were your gauge is gonna sit.
as for wiring the light, hook into the dash lights
when its all hooked up start it up and the gauge should read around 15-10 vac if you rev it, it will read 0psi
thats it.
EDIT: before you install that gauge make sure that the needle is sitting at 0
alot of those SRT-4 gauges go bad. the needle sits off.
alot of us just upgraded to the Ultralight 30/30 boost gauge its the same look just without the green letters and havent had any problems since.
my stock gauge want bad around 15k the needle was sitting on 3psi of boost when the car was off. just becareful with that gauge .
