Question boost and oil pressure gauges fitting?

just got my gauges for my saph, got a twin A pillar pod, and a racetech boost and oil pressure gauge, from burton, have got all the necessary bits to fit, but would be grateful if someone could give me a no nonsense guide to fitting them, maybe sum pics?? the cars got all standard hoses and fittings on at the moment, any help much appreciated,

both gauges take the feed (power) from the ignition or ignition feed by kick panel

boost - you have 2 rigid plastic pipes running on top of the inlet manifold, you will need to T piece the pipe which does NOT go to the fuel pressure reg.

oil pressure - you can take this from 2 places, on the inlet side of the block there is the exisiting pressure switch; you can get an adapter and come off of there or some take it from the sandwhich plate

Why is it you can't take it from the line going to the fuel reg then? Always been curious about that
