Default Autometer Gauge Routing

What's the best/easiest way to route lines for my new boost and air/fuel gauges? They're autometer sport comps, boost is mechanical and air/fuel is elec, and I'm using a bipillar for mounting, any suggestions? Going through firewall?

I just went through this last week. I ran both lines through the firewall at the rubber grommet on the passenger side behind the PCM. The tubing for the boost gauge just barely reached the intake manifold though. The gauges are in a dual pod on the A pillar.

thanks, I know they only give you 10 feet of tubing which sucks when you have to do all sorts of tricks and route it in different places to get it to the intake manifold. Did you use a vacuum plug on the drivers side or passengers side of the manifold? I deleted my EGR and AIR and have blockoff plates on my manifold, anyone else? Alternate places to put the gauges?

I T'd into a vacuum fitting on the passenger side, about the middle of the manifold. I think that hose goes to the interior climate controls, but not sure. It's the one right next to the fuel pressure regulator hose. I compared the readings to the MAP sensor, and they're almost dead on. Yeah, the 10 feet of tubing was JUST enough for me.
