The good electronic boost gauges have a MAP sensor that you mount under the hood it has a boost/vac line from the engine to it, then a small harness from the sensor to the gauge, it will also calibrate itself every time you start the engine.

Now if you plan on or will want more than just a boost gauge, for almost the same amount of money you can get the Aeroforce Scangauge, which besides being a good digital boost gauge, it has about 30 or so other "gauges" built in to scan through or just choose any 2 of the cars many sensors at a time, and it just plugs into the OBD2 port below the steering column, (no other connections, unless you want to add a sensor that is not read by the cars PCM), it will also read and clear your codes and turn off the CEL after repairs, test your 1/4 mile time, speed & power, these are catching on very fast with the PT crowd and has the most bang for the buck of anything out there right now.

Supposedly the green is closer to our blue/green stock dash, but I have not seen it in person, I have a duel gauge setup with the Red on black display to match my AEM AFR & Tru-Boost gauges, red is easier to see at night for me, if you were to get one, and really not like the color, it is only $35 ot $40 to have the display changed to another color, it is not as though you are stuck for life with a color you decide you don't like.
