Installing a boost gauge

Wheres the best place to run the vaccum hose from gauge? Am I going to have to drill a hole through the body? Another thought was to cut to run it through the same hole the hood release is. Would that work?

Where do you run the hose through so it can get to the gauge sitting on the dash though?

find a hose that plugs directly to the manifold. betwen the engine and the "buterfly" where the accelerator is, don't place it anywhere else but this section.

just try to find an existing hole in the firewall to put it through, there are several holes that go to the inside of the cabin.

yup, cut a small hole in the grommet where the main harness runs through, that will drop the wires right onto the passenger floor (with a little fishing)
