yeah the ecu box is the best way. 99% of us do it that way. I also believe there is a grommet for the Hood release wire somewhere, though I have never looked hard enough to find it.

Sears or Ace hardware carries them for 65 cents.

brrman, doesn't that hose tee cause the boost gauge to make a buzzing sound when making boost? Mine does and i had a metal hose tee and i think i remember it didn't, but i swithed it out with a plastic one because i thought it was leaking. I didn't have a metal hose tee i had a metal compression union that was a T and i though it wasn't sealing good so i switched it out.
