for SR redBoost:just one question, the T fitting goes to the gauge, vacum, + one hose of the fuel regulator right?(thats what ive heard) question is, which hose of the fuel regulator do i cut and which one goes to the T

water:ok, theres a bunch of wiring for this one the only one im having problems with is the one that goes to the temp sender, where do i put this one? do i have to drill somewhere in the engine? (again, thats what ive heard)or is there a specific place to put this one?

Why does everyone makes it look SO easy!!!! aghhhhh

dont know if you've already solved this problem... but you are correct about the T fitting for the boost gauge. just cut the line right as it goes into the fuel regulator. insert T and connect all lines in respective locations. Now as for the water temp sensor... depends on what type you have sometimes, but i have a megan sensor and i purchased the greddy 38mm radiator hose fitting sensor adapter ( which goes between the hoses, which you will have to cut a portion out of...measure this carefully!... at the upper side of the radiator as the hot water goes into the radiator). i took a measurement of the megan sensor thread pitch and found a tap and rethreaded the radiator hose sensor fitting. then i would recommend putting some teflon tape on the sensor threads (only a little bit). that should be the basics of it. good luck!

the temp sender, you have some options. I'm assuming you've an sr so here they are. you can

1. use a blitz upper radiator hose. it's got a bung-esque kinda deal for a temp sensor there.

2. you can get a adapter that will cut into your lower radiator hose and has a hole for your sensor.

3. use a greddy radiator that has a bung in it for a temp sensor.
