Wiring boost and oil pressure

So I was lucky enough to snag an alta dual gauge pod out of their garage sale, and soon will get two prosports to fit in there (oil pressure and boost), anyone have anything on wiring these puppies? I have seen a couple requests in various places but no one has seemed to respond or have it for the r53. Putting the gauges on / in the pod should be no prob, got the diagram and a free weekend coming up, I have a sheet from alta on wiring the gauges to an r56, but I have an r53, and I presume that while similar there actual installation is different. Anyone have any tips? Point me in the right direction?

if you pm me and can be patient I can guide you through this. I have both plus also oil temp and water temp. (defi black face however)

I have a big charity event http://www.minicooperrally.com this Saturday so time is somewhat limited until after the weekend. But I can help. I am in Southern California - where are you?

I can email you a jpg file for Prosport Electronic Boost Guage from my database. They were kind enough to send one to me after I purchased used Prosport guage here from "Littlehandegan" They are a wonderful company to deal with PM me an email address where I can send it to.
