Not much at all. I would suggest buying an electrical pressure gague...With that its just running a few electrical wires, hooking up a pressure transducer and mounting the gauge

You can run a line off a bottle nut adapter to the gauge. The elcetric gauges are cool, but I guess I'd rather spend money on other things like an interface

Just remember to put a plug on the port for the bottle mounted gauge if you do that.

I haven't seen any one run a line all the way to the pillar. If you want to put it up there you will have to go electric because the mech gauge is kind of deep. I thought you wanted it on the console, which is why I suggested the mech.

The electric gauges cost a bit more but are well worth it. If you plan on useing a piller pod and gauge Im not sure if there is even room to run a hose up through there for a machanical gauge. If you want to do a switch panle like the one you showed with a gauge you should be fine going electrical or machanical.
