Its pretty easy to do. With the pod it should only take a half hour or so to hook them both up. The fuel pressure solenoid is the best spot to hook up the boost gauge.
If you don't already have it you will need some nylon hose and a T connector to splice into solenoid hose.
The air to fuel gauge even though they don't actually do anything except look like a blinky blinky light, it taps into the wiring harness the goes into the ECU.

Thats the diagram for the fuel pressure solenoid. This is for a 1G, you didn't specify what kind of car you had. But they are pretty much the same, the 1G have one more hose I think.
For the air to fuel gauge you will the need the wiring pinout for your type of car and then tap into that. I am sure if you specify what kind of car you have somebody will have the diagram for you.

You can go to vfaq for a wiring diagram if needed.

Regular A/F gauges are worthless, don't even bother hooking it up. Sell it and take your mom out for dinner (seriously, it will do you more good).
They are not totally worthless. You can check on the fly if you are running really lean or rich. I wouldn't tune on one though.
