Excellent!!! Thanks for that John, I've been waiting since last night to find out what pipe needs splicing. Correct me if I'm wrong.....that middle pipe connects to a smaller bore metal one at the back of the manifold? Don't where it goes after that!

cheers
Geraint.

Make sure you get a good t-piece - preferably one with a metal insert to strengthen it.

I had a plastic one that split, causing the car to run like a bag of s41t

WRX240 I am at work at the moment ( no camera )
On the manifold coming off away from you are three rubber pipes close together , larger one on the Left as you look in the bonnet
Cut the centre one , put a Tee piece in line and Tee off to your Guage __avoiding the heat from the turbo on the way
Good luck John
PS took the light connection off the cigarette lighter

Again, thanks for all the help, you did exactly what I did to set up the gauge light, that way you can still use the original connector, I actually removed mine along with the ashtray so I could mount atleast three in the centre console, although saying that I'm happy just to get this one out the way! When it's connected I'll send in a pic.

cheers all.
