I assume your gauge has a sender? If so, you'll need an adaptor to fit it into the tapping on top of No. 3 cylinder, (which is at the rear, driver's side). Adaptors from Scoobyparts, Scoobymania, etc

A LONG 8mm Allen, (hex) key is needed to remove the blanking plug, you need to put PTFE tape around the threads to help seal, and the whole job is dead easy if you remove the intercooler first

That will make the job easier, but you will still need a sender. I'm presuming it's an electrical pressure gauge ( not mechanical ) ?
