the bov you install into the intake piping assuming your turbo is intercooled it's the piping that leads from the intercooler into the intake manifold and then run the a vacuum line from the bov to the intake, and the boost gauge you simply run the vacuum line to the manifold and wire the positive wire into the parking lamps or headlamps switch and the ground wire to a good ground. As far as the bov goes if the intake piping does not have a fitting already welding into the piping you'll need to cut out a section of the piping and weld in a fitting for the bov or weld the bov directly to the intake piping.
