Help! where do i thread vaacum hose???

[jimGTS]

want to get the vaacum hose for my boost gauge from the dash to the engine bay!!

now, i know how to take out the interior, but where on earth do i thread the hose??
and do i need to take anything off in the engine bay to get the hose through???

I threaded mine through the rubber grommet beneath the standard air filter then down the middle of the cabin inside the centre console, around the gear stick and into the dash.

my question is how did you get through from the engine bay to the cabin??

by air filter, are you saying theres a hole in the firewall on the passengers side where i thread the hose through?? do i need to take any engine parts out to get to this hole??

tar!

Mine went through behind the drivers seat. if you take the carpet off behind (there should be a hand hold to pull it away) youll find a black rubber gromit. pierce this, pierce the cardboard backing in the fire wall and you will be able to pull the hose through into the engine bay. probably youll have to do it by touch as its difficult to see but straight forward enough. you can then run the pipe along the floor and under the trim on the drivers side door frame. you dont have to take any engine parts out.

Sorry to hijack the thread but wheres the best place to connect it to in the engine bay?

[^Trickster^]

I brought mind through the centre section behind the storage box between the seats, if you take it off there is a couple of places you can come through. I came through with the selector cables as there was a small gap in the rubber bung.

Best place is anywhere directly off the manifold, most people T off with the map sensor, i have a few spare ports on my head which i use for this and other things.

Ok cheers, so basically the boost guage is just reading the vacuum?

[^Trickster^]

it will read the vacuum when you are off boost yes
