what year is your riviera?
No one has made a write up on putting a boost guage into a riviera. The pontisc is basically the same engine (note the eninge in the link is a series 1 L67) ._________________  2001 Bonneville SSEI.

| the T is the best place to tap into, but as far as going through the firewall IDK. that water shield over the rack and pinion sounds like a good route. _________________ 3.4, N*, 1.84RR, P&P blower and LIM, 3"DP, 4"WAI, plog, 6K HID, Eibach pro springs, KYB GR-2, Fbody 12" brakes,caddy STB & sway bar.
