Relocation of Boost Gauge

Hi,
Im having some trouble relocating my boost gauge. This is where it is wired.

How would I move it to the steering wheel area?

Thanks!

I'm not sure exactly what you are asking? Moving it is very straight forward.

1. Disconnect the boost gauge from where it is.
2. Move it to where you want.
3. reconnect the wiring under the dash.

Easy

I'm not sure where the wires are going to. The previous owner wired it. I can push the wires through the hole but then I'm not sure where to get them from. Would I have to pull up the dashboard to get to it?

from the looks of it, u can prolly get at the wires from under the dash, or might be able to get to it if you take out the radio/ac center portion of the dash.
every wiring is different, you have to just take what i mentioned and look for the wires. no one can tell you how its wired just from that pic.
its very straight forward, you will see wires that dont belong there.

^+1. You can get them out under dash on driverside. It would be easier to look if you move radio.

You may also need to remove the bit of trim that goes around the AC vents/clock (carbon bit on an 9). That gives you pretty good access to the area where those cables should come into the dash. That's how I currently have my gauges mounted.
