erm, what car is it going on?

the wires dont really make sense, its obviously mechanical as you have a hose.

all that leaves that is electronic is the back light, which would be 2 wires.

or am i missing something

I'm lost on the wires, as black and red would normally be -ve and +ve for the rear light, and the hose will tee-piece in with the boost vacuum hoses, i've the one that goes to the dump valve

You'll need some boost hose from the inlet manifold to the back of the guage. The rest will be power and ground, and one will need to be wired into the headlights to light up the guage.

Should of got one from Nomad IMO
