I don't want to divert this thread. There are plenty of DIY posts on how to install with pics, but FYI I added a 3/16" tee into the vacuum tube near the Y-split (see
http://www.e90post.com/forums/showpo...5&postcount=55 for how to accomplish the same thing with a 4-way adapter). Ran 3/16" tube to the firewall where I mounted the sensor in a convenient unused clip. The electrical cable follows the pipe across the back of the firewall with the quick connect plug wedged behind the ECU box. The cable then continues into the ECU box through the left side wire bundle and through the hole into the cabin just below the glove box. Voila! The gauge can be mounted anywhere. Mine is in the ashtray (required removal of the center console top trim). Hope that helps.
