Damn, That is a turbo badge off a SAAB!!! My first car... SAAB 900 TURBO... I loved that thing for about the first half hour I owned it. After that, it became a real SAAB story. Loose the SAAB badge.

If you install an aftermarket gauge you might as well just toss the stock one. Source a clock out of an NA car and put it in it's location to fill the void. Hooking up a boost gauge is simple. Alls you have to do is run the vacuum(boost signal) line to the gauge. I don't know if the factory gauge draws its signal directly from a vacuum line or if it draws a signal from a vacuum control box in the engine compartment, but either way you'll want to take the signal off of that line. Other than that you just have to wire up to an IGN or lighting circuit to power up the light. This is a basic install and every gauge will come with directions on how to install it. But it doesn't get more complicated then that. Just find out where the factory gauge draws it's signal from. And as far as needing an aftermarket gauge goes, well that depends on how high the stock gauge reads. Cause I don't know how high that is. If it's only 5psi then the answer to your question is YES.

... An Accord Type R?
Someone raided the Pep Boys decal and emblem section, then.
The US never got the "Euro R" Accord, and there was never a Type R Accord built.
At least you showed him whats up. Nice job.

I've had a couple of V6 Accords give me a run for my money. Never had a 4 cylinder show me anything special though. Hell, I had an old Cressida almost make me look silly a while back. Out of the hole he was all over me. Moral of the story... Don't judge a book by its cover. Sleepers are everywhere!

Clutch fluid IS brake fluid. So just pick up some brake fluid and you're golden. Sounds like you definitely need to bleed the clutch system though. The reason the pedal would take it's time to return is because there is no pressure pushing back through the hydraulic system. Also, If you just did hte clutch and bleeding doesn't help, you may have to replace the clutch master cylinder/slave cylinders. And if that dont work, well see if those all do the trick first.
