SOS!!! Vacuum tube through firewall on a IX??!!
I've got the Evo sitting in the garage torn apart trying to install this damn boost gauge. I can't find where to go through the firewall. I searched and found some great how-to's but they were for VIII's. The gromet that I keep reading about that is behind the glovebox is UA. All I see when I look back there is pading.
Any help would be appreciated!

The hole is there, behind the passenger front strut tower.
Since I have a stereo sytem and I ran my power wire though that hole, I just drilled a hole near though the firewall near the throttle cable.

did you Make sure to Put some electrical tape and silicone around the wire. I did that on my freinds car and about 3 weeks later the Firewall wore a hole in the wire and it started shorting out. Very Dangerous and that was a Stupid mistake on my part, I didn't have a grommet.

Got it..found the gromet finally. I was thinking that I should have been looking to the left of the ECU towards the middle of the car. When I went back and read it again I saw that it said go back to the engine bay and look behind the strut tower. There was no way I was fitting my hands in there to get it out. Luckly my 5' 105lbs wife was able to reach it no problem LOL.
