Cant help with the AFR gauge but the boost gauge will be best if you t it into a vacuum hose direct to the inlet manifold. Say for example your d/v hose

For the boost gauge simply run a long length of OEM diameter vac hose from the inlet manifold (if there's an used nipple available), through the firewall/bulkhead and onto vac connector on the back of the gauge. If there is no spare nipple, then splice in a T-piece as close as possible to the inlet manifold, by cutting the vac hose that leads to the DV, in two.

If it has on-board illumination, then splice in the +ve power lead to the 'ACC ON' circuit of the ign. barrel, and the -ve to a suitable earth.

you need the lambda signal wire and as said before it is best tapped into at the ecu end not the sensor end!!!
