OK seems to be some confusion on this, so I will post up my install of the Aeroforce interceptor.
You have to start by taking this hex bolt out of your a pillar. I am not sure of the size, but IM pretty sure its in any standard issue hex set as its in mine.

Once you have it removed the A-pillar should just pull out. There are 3 small clips holding it in place. You cant break anything so just pull it and it will pop off.
This is what holds the stock gauge in place. 2 small bolts. Losen these and the stock boost gauge should pull right out. also you must unclip that clip.

The Interceptor will not stay in place the same as the stock gauge. If you LOOK CLOSELY here you can see I wrapped the rim of the Interceptor with Electric tape.
I wrapped arround until it fit snug in the housing.

Here you can see it snug in place, and keeps it from moving and falling out. Very easy way to mount it IMO, and allows adjustment on the fly if needed

Here is the stock harness that was connected to the stock boost gauge. I cut this off of the boost gauge and used tapped off the pink wire to power the new Interceptor.
You can just tap off a wire if you find it easier as you dont have to damage the stock wiring, however I found this way more effective.

Here is the stock connector from the stock gauge spliced into the interceptor wiring.

Here is another clsoe up.

This shows how I ran the ODBII cable. I just pushed it inbetween the plastic and the weather stripping using a flat head screw driver. Very easy and once its back there its not noticable at all.

Another showing the wire being pushed through.

Once you have that completed you will have something that looks like this.

I just pushed the excess wire up and into the crevace, again completely un-noticable.

After that. Just reconnect everything and push all the excess cables down near where the A-pillar first inserts itself. Push the A-Pillar in place and make sure all three clips click. Then put the bolt back in and your good too go. of course before you completely reconnect everything you may want to turn your car on and make sure the gauge works incase you need to double check your wiring.
This is what you can expect when completed



Enjoy!

thats awsome man. Now Im just stuck on how to power it. I have the dual guages and I heard that the boost wite wont be able to power both guages. I was told to use the ignition, do you know how to do that?
Tap into the Ignition fuse in the fuse box with a add a fuse
And no I don't wanna do steering wheel pod. I want pillar pod!
that sucks that they dont make a pod for you man. I have a buddy with a redline and he just kinda screwed a dual pod onto his a pillar.
I think the red is a different shade than the cluster. I personally went blue (favorite color) But red wouldnt look bad Im sure
