Question Fitting Gauges

hi all got a set of new gauges for my recently bought scooby but took it to local garage and they only managed to wire the boost gauge up

the volt gauge and the oil pressure are not wired is anyone any good at this sort of thing and could help or maybe point me in direction of a good guide

thanks

LOL, breaking what?

So they "fed everything into the engine bay"?

What, exactly? And what did they do with it afterwards?

AFAIK, voltmeter needs a switched live feed and an earth.

Oil pressure needs a sender, which, depending on it's size, either fits in place of the OE oil pressure switch, which is redundant, or via a T-piece if the sender is too big and/or you want to retain the switch/light.
