OEM Boost Line Location

Hi,
Does anyone know where the oem boost gauge connected to? I heard the line went through the passenger side firewall but i do not see a single line that does so. Bonus points if anyone know the size of the oem gauges haha

Back when I bought my 2003 the gauge package was a dealer option. Dealer options were sometimes installed by the sales department. So, picture a car salesman installing your gauges. The line could be anywhere but I'd guess in the grommet behind the glove box.

Oh i thought SE's and MR's included gauges, so i was thinking the placement of that gauge line was universal. I have a MR but the original owner didnt include/have the boost gauge

I have a factory set of MR gauges if you are interested. Also my line ran in a grommet in the passenger footwell.

I think both above posters are talking about the grommet behind the glove box. Under hood it is way to the right, low and almost impossible to see.

Look for a vacuum tubing behind the motor, passenger side, right above the alternator, and right below the middle of the strut bar.

Hey thanks the for replies! I think the original owner must have pulled it or something but the grommet didnt have a vacuum line at all. Ive taken a couple pics of the grommet i was looking at and it was just a bunch of electrical wires. I have yet to look at the fpr to find a vacuum line that leads towards the passenger side but ive taken a pic of where i am looking.

hey man, not sure if you are still on this. But where did you find the oem line? Was it behind the glove box on the passenger side?
