Default Boost Gauge Install

What brand and what type of boost gauges are you guys using? Electric sensor or do you run a line?

What is the best place on the drivers side to run wires and such, doesn't look like much room. Is there a useable gromment on the drivers side?

I know about the hole behind the PCM, but I have so much stuff going through there I don't think I can get anymore through it. (4ga power wire, N20 line, wire for shift light, wires for N20 system, SLP fan switch)

Man, you should just ask me. As much as you've been around my car, I'm surprised you haven't gone through it yet

I have the Autometer Ultra-Lite mechanical. It uses a line that taps into a manifold pressure source under the hood.

There is a usable grommet on the driver's side, and that's where mine comes into the cabin.
