From my understanding. Electrical runs off the Map Sensor, the mechanical you run a tube and connect it to either the map sensor line or directly to the intake after the turbo. The mechanical directly after the turbo is the most accurate.

An electrical gauge is going to have a sending unit that you plumb into the charge air system somewhere and will have wires going to the gauge. Mechanical has a nylon tube that runs up to the gauge.
