Im trying to hook my aftermarket mechanical boost gauge to my new pillar so it will match. Question is....

What is the most direct route from the engine bay to the cabin on the driver's side? Id originally wire it through the clutch peddle but i dont have the hose, and it wouldnt be as clean.

Suggestions? Pictures? help? All i see is the plastic shroud under the wipers and there doesnt look to be much room under it.

Thanks!

 

theres a rubber plug on the firewall above your brake peddle.

 

yea... thats what i meant... i dont have the hose to go all the way down there and back up. Is there another method?

 

hmmm, i dont think so, i mean there is, but there not easy to get to, you can follow some of the wire bundles, i dont think your going to have much luck tho. i would just get a bigger tube, its just the regular vac pressure tube rite? 5 bucks at ur local parts store.

 

yea but it is susceptible to pinching and i really dont want a skewed hose

 

it shouldn't pinch....the hose is pretty durable

 

i ended up routing it through the fender+door for now.... until i get more hose or look at a more direct route. I dont think the hose will break but it can easily be pinched a little given the gromet around the brake

 

I had mine routed in my supercharged Buick through the firewall and never had an issue with pinching

 

yea i guess ill end up doing it that way... sucks i cant throw it through the windshield

 

lol

.

 

buy more hose...there's no other option for wiring to the driver's side.

 

I read the thread title and thought

"....UPS?"

 

Are you serious? That's not direct at all...the vac line you have to cut is right there dead smack in the middle of the engine compartment. Pop the grommet and wire underneath or wire it through the grommet.

 

haha i thought the same thing... i figured he ordered some blow up doll or somthing that he wanted in a hurry

 

dude... the vac line needs to go from my gauge to the engine compartment

 

I get it, I'm just saying how did you have enough hose to wire it through the fender but not the grommet, the grommet is closer to the pillar!

 

yeah, I was about to say map quest from headquarters
