im about to start putting together all my gauges and im wondering how you guys have all your gauge wires routed....
like your fuel pressure gauge, AFR gauge, and boost gauge... they will be in a tripple pillar....
are you drilling more holes in your firewall or using existing ones.... do you have to pull the dash pad.... etc... etc...
i just need to know what this involves
Thanks,
Tyler

I ran my boost and fuel pressure through the hole in the firewall behind the PCM then accross the underside of the dash and up by the fuse panel into the A-Pillar.
The fuel pressure gauge did not have enough wire so I had to add about 2 1/2 ft to it to make it long enough.

Yep, best and cleanest installation in my opinion. Exactly what I did. You likely will have to extend the wiring a little, but no big deal.

I drilled a 1 inch hole in the firewall on drivers side. Then used the gromet that came with my fuel pressure gauge. Didn't have to remove the dash pad, cause once you get the A-pillar out of there (t-top car) you can easily route the wires. I connected the gauges to a terminal block and then just mounted my main wires to there. The block has been cleaned up a bit since first stage of my install a while ago.

I drilled a hole in mine to right by the brake pedal.but I have a load more wires to run than most people, I didnt want to run this many wires across the car and back over to the senders it would have been a wireing mess under the hood.

I did like the pics and drilled a hole and used a grommet by the brake pedal.
