help [getting through the firewall]

**xtrakrdt** · 12-22-04, 14:57

does anyone know another hole in the firewall for access to the engine bay.. the hole under the master cylinder is occupied with a cable for my battery because i moved it to the trunk for more space... i just need it to be big enough for the boost gauge and air/fuel gauge wires and hoses... any help is greatly appreciated.

Drill a hole

and use an elecrtical sheet metal gromett

Or poke the wires through an existing rubber gromett with wiring in it already.

I'm fond of the hole where the A/C drains. Just look underneath the glove comparment (there is a panel you have to remove), and there is a rubber tube which drains water out of the A/C condenser. That is easy to use, a little bit of rerouting is required, but anyway...

like maybe the throttle cable or something else... i think you
d rather the boost guage hose to be as short as possible and going towards the passenger side and back over to the driver isnt shorter heh

just a fyi..

IF YOU OWN A 5 SPEED..

look directly behind the .. say.. where the ecu's mounted.. there's a plate.. and little rubber cover the unbolts.. and you can pull it out.. drill a hole and bolt it back up.. sometimes its just rubber.. so you could put a hole in it!!
