So I was just surfing summit and found an electrical boost gauge that includes a MAP sensor. Would it be possible to use this gauge either with the included MAP sensor and/or the stock one?

You won't need the vacuum side of the gauge and you also don't need to give Summit the extra $140.

Buy this one instead and just run the tubing straight to the gauge.

Check out Ripster's install... You're looking for the slightly green (on my screen, anyway) tube penetrating the airbox just left-of-center in the first picture, on the driver-side of the radiator area. Another picture shows the tube (and his yellow EGT wire) penetrating the firewall grommet.

I had that same electric gauge on my short list, wanting to make all penetrations electrical and leave all the system fluids, etc in the engine compartment.

But in the end, I couldn't justify the extra cash, the unused portion of the gauge, and the risk of a 25psi air leak was small enough. Plus, Ripster tells us there would be no need to worry of an air leak.
