I don't believe it will work.

That factory boost gauge in the ss/sc and ss/tc got their signal directly from the ECU if I am not mistaken. Most likely your ECU won't have this wire or pin that you could tap into. IMHO I would get a nice aftermarket mechanical gauge. The difference in responsiveness is remarkable, plus I believe mechanical gauges are more accurate in their readings than their electric counterparts.

You cannot hook up a factory boost gauge in a base model as far as i know. Like said above it's ECU operated

Or Autometer Cobalt series gauges.

OP let us know what gauge you end up getting. I need one too but cant decide which one. I figured the glowshift tinted series would match my innovate wideband the best but I dont know if I want to go fancier

Tinted gauges blow.
They lasted 20 minutes in my car.

Autometer Cobalt's FTW

I have the autometer in my car now. It's a pretty good gauge except for the fact that mine doesn't zero exactly, it's pegged at -2 when the car's off. But I'll be upgrading to another here shortly with the TVS as mine reads to 20. Need more room but I'll be sticking with the Autometer. It's a good gauge.

I've got thw Autometer Cobalt series. Good looking and never had an issue.

As long as it goes to the levels it is supposed to it really does not matter where it zeros. Just so you know.

WVU_SS

iTrader: (1)

Good to know. I didn't know if that would cause it to be off by a permanent -2. It hits all the levels it's supposed to hit. Learn something new every day.

Still have to buy 4 of the cobalt series gauges (oil pressure, EGT, Boost, wideband) and an interceptor.

I personally have the autometer Cobalt mechanical gauge in my car and I couldn't be happier.

blueLNFftw

iTrader: (16)

Yup. If it really bothered you then you can remove the bezel and push it to zero in the zero box, but idk how easy the face comes off. I had an old sport comp that was "zero" at 10in lol. Gauge worked great tho.

iTrader: (1)

Lol it doesn't bother me at all. Just confused me that it zero'd some place different but still read accurately.

I'll look at the cobalt series gauges

The Cobalt series gauges light up blue, my eyes do weird things with straight blue LED color. They also don't blend with the stock setup.

Sport Comp 2 light up white, with a couple resistors you can knock the brightness down so they blend nicely.
