Does it have a generic 0-5 volt input? If it does, you can use a $50 GM 3 bar.

Well, there you go. If it is a generic input, it will give you a value of 0-5 for voltage - which you need to convert to %, or psi.
There are graphs on the web which give conversion tables for the GM sensors.

You will get something like 3.75 volts on the screen, and you can convert to something like 18 psi. It becomes second hand after a few readings of your software.

Thanks Special Tool,

You can't tap this off the KLR or DME? Also wouldn't getting something like Autometer electrical boost gauge be another choice?

I ended up using a $20 Motorola 2.5 bar map sensor, very small about 2cm in diameter. And work well up to 1.5 bar.
