What part do you need help with? I don't think I have seen a DIY for gauges yet.

Where does the pressure gauge sensor connect to the s/c tvs2300? This is for the boost gauge?

My whipple has a port on the drivers side. It had a pipe plug in it from the factory. I had to buy a nipple for it at the hardware store. What blower do you have?

Try this link. It has a diagram of where the booster fitting is on the Maggie.
The brake booster line will only show vacuum, so don't put it there. Lol I tried it.

OK I got that figured out, where do I install the tee and pressure sensor and the brass barb?

Edit: I'm an idiot ..... so the pressure sensor installs into the brass barb and the barb connects to the pressure cable?

I pretty sure this is correct, yes?

Also a plastic tee is provided, it it optional to use or am I missing something?

That looks correct. You may not need the tee. If you have a BAP on your car the installer may have already used the boost port on the maggie for boost reference on the BAP. If that is the case, this is where you would use the tee fitting. Just make sure when you buy a nipple that you take the plug with you to make sure you get the correct threads. You wouldn't want to screw up the threads in the maggie. I also used a small bit of thread tape on mine. This is what the fitting you put in the s/c will look like.

Thanks bro... do you have air/fuel gauge aswell? If so, is the o2 sensor just a swap out or is there welding involved?

If you have removed your catalytic converters, you may have some bungs that have plugs in them. If so, you can just remove a plug and use one of them. If not you will probably need to have a muffler shop weld one in. Don't remove the forward O2 NB sensors, the computer needs them. Also, the WB will need to be installed pre-cat if you still have them.

I have Auto Meter WB and boost gauges.

Sounds like it. It shouldn't be to expensive. Just don't take it to Midas. Lol. I had a quote to get it done before I removed the cats, and it was under 100$.

Good luck.
