Boost Gauge DIY...

Sorry for doing this, but I have searched and searched for a good DIY on this subject. I have pieced together where to tap the boost line and where to mount the gauge, but I am having a problem finding where most have routed the tubing through the engine bay and into the cabin. Does anyone have any pics?

Thanks!

I don't have pictures, but there's a grommet on the drivers side of the car above the steering column that comes out right below where the bonnet closes. Mine had a black piece of duct tape over it, but not sure if that is "standard". It's easy to get to it from the engine bay. Just make a small slice with an Xacto and insert you wires, then remove the under-dash panel beneath the steering column and you'll find them.

I hope this helps.
