Default Boost Gauge Install Help

Yes, I did a search for this, but... does anyone have very detailed (as in pictures and text) install directions for a Boost Gauge (I'm going to be using the D-Gauage with Steve's adapter on the left-most vent)? Pictures are particularly helpful with the wiring, because I'm colorblind, and with the tubing because I've never routed anything into the cabin from the engine (or tapped into the FPR, obviously). Thanks.

Steve told me to NOT use those directions because you end up doing way too much work.

Default On step 14 it says to

attach all the hoses as shown, but then it says something about a T valve and a reducer fitting.

I just realized the gauge I bought second hand is MISSING ANY KIND OF T VALVE--as well any kind of clamps!

Anyone... please, directions? How are the hoses routed? And why aren't the wipers removed?
