Question boost gauge malfunction- any help please?

Hi guys,

Just purchased a 2006 pre-owned ss/sc with 40k miles on it. Last owner modified the interior to include a total of 3 gauges on the drivers side panel:

boost gauge (stock)
fuel ratio gauge
oil pressure gauge

However, as soon as I turn the car on, only the fuel ratio gauge will work. What's preventing the other gauges from working? Could this become a serious problem?

All help is appreciated since I don't know much about the super charger aspects of the car just yet. I am still trying to educate myself.

my GUESS is that he installed the set, and didn't hook them up.

installing gauges is easy, actually running an oil pressure sender line and boost pressure line is a little more work.

is it a stock boost gauge?

photos?

Unhappy

The boost guage I am pretty sure is stock. I will add photos later to show you.

In order to make the guages work, is it simply a matter of reconnecting them?
Thanks again for the advice.

Here's some photos for reference.


Anyone with tips on how to reconnect those damn sensors to the boost gauge? Where to find them?
