As above t in at the bov. Although i would take the top off the bov an spin it half a turn so the take of is on the right as we look at the pic.

There is a spring in there. Very easy to do though. remove the pipe. Undo the four screws keeping thumb pressure on the centre of the valve. Spin it. No need to even let the spring out. And do the screws back up

Quite a few places to take power from(depends where gauge is)
Can be taken from cigarette lighter or from the clock, but any switched live will do

Its a filter that protects either a gauge sensor or the bov from little bits of muck getting into the mechanism. I would use it.

Anywhere along the line before the boost sensor. That's what I thought.

Just T into bov. Don't touch fpr/fuel pressure regulator. You want to read turbo boost pressure dont you? Not fuel pressure!
