Question Putting some gauges in

And curious about a way to get wire, vacuume hose, and other things from then engine to the inside of my car. I'm having a real hard time with this, so much crap in the way. I've never dealt with this before.

I got an A-Pillar pod so my vac is exposed by the door. I wired my power wire for my amp through a hole for some wires behind the glove box. Look around your firewall for any rubber seals you can break into. The vac line is narrow so it shouldn't be too difficult. What different gauges you installing?

on the right side of the engine compartment there are rubber stops in the firewall. Inside the car ontop of ur pedals there is also a rubber stop. Thats where ive run my wires for installs in the car.

Yea I figured out where I could go for my wires. But thanks guys.

Umm..lets see...I've got a boost gauge, oil pressure, oil temp, and I actually have a third open spot I need to fill, but I haven't decided what I want or need lol. I'll prob get an amp gauge or some thing.

I think the one thing I really dislike about this car is the lack of knowing what the heck is going on under the hood. I mean, yea I have a gauge that says my engine is hot, cold or normal. That's it. Sure the car tells you when you have lights out or things need to be filled but most of the time I don't need to worry about that cause I know how to take care of a car lol. So it's nice to have a little extra letting me know what's up.
