Can someone SoCal help me with hole in firewall?

Hey guys, need your help. I am trying to install my boost gauge and soon a MBC. But I can't seem to find the perfect spot to drill in my firewall. I have tried many times with my drill but for some reason after going through the metal, there is more metal and I can't drill through that.

If any of your guys have done it and know exactly where to drill, please come give me a hand!! Maybe my drill is too big, hard to get into places...

I put a hole through the boot for the ECU harness, it has two boots so u will need to go through both, I actually wen thought the outside boot and was able to tuck it into the harness wires and out the other side without a whole on the interior side, very minor holes shouldn't have much affect just becarful of the ecu wires and besure to seal the hole or atleast make it look clean...

Yeah I read about that. I've seen it I think the pictures don't seem to work on the write ups, but not sure if all my lines will reach to the A-Pillar.
