Default How do i wire up gauges?

alright hows it going i just bought some gauges and haven't got a clue how to wirer them up iv got a volt vacume and oil presher gauge. the volt gauge has a black/red/green/white and orange
oil presher has all of the above
vacume has black/white
I know the white is for the lights coz i tryed it so the vacume is easy enough. can anybody tell me where the vacume pipe goes. any pictuers would help alot. im pritty good with the machanical side of things but when you got a bunch of wires in you hand and you dont know where thay go it can be a nightmare
thank for looking

orange will be swtich live for the when you put the lights on,
yellow will be perminent,
red will be ignition switch live,
green wire will go to the white wire on the pressure sensor, then you ground the other wire from the pressure sensor

not sure why your volt gauage has a green wire,
and tbh, there is no piont what so ever fitting a vacume gauge to an rs turbo, wont tell you any thing, and will probly leak under boost

hope this helps
