Where to route gauge wires?

Hi everyone. I've just bought myself an A-pillar pod and gauges was was wondering where to route the wires into the car from the engine bay? I've got oil pressure, oil temp and boost which actually brings me onto my next question: where should I plumb into the boost hoses for the sender?

Thanks for your help

Last time i checked there was no holes so drill one and order a grommet from jegs or something. Just use hole saw and order what ever size you use.

There is a hole in the firewall all the way to the left (as you look at the front of the car) behind the strut tower that you can run stuff through. You'll probably have to pull back some insulation. Inside the car you can find it up behind the glove box, otherwise up to the left of the clutch pedal is a boot that runs into the drivers side fender and you can run stuff through there as well, but you'll most certainly need a wire snake to do so.

I just drilled a hole and filled it with silicone. Works fine for me.

That works. As was already posted, there is a handy grommet behind the strut on the passager side of the car. I have it filled with gauge wiring...etc. I hate drilling into the firewall if it's not necessary.
