Find on the fire wall where there is a grommet cut a slice in it and feed it through there. I believe i ran mine around the brake booster? on in that area of the firewall.

you dont know where to feed the vac line from the engine bay to the actual gauge in the pillar? Is it a single pod pillar on the door? or wheres the boost gauge at? if u had pics that would be good. If its a single pillar on the door part i just followed another wire thru the firewall, ran it next to the side wall by the drivers side foot space ran it up to the pillar cut a small hole big enough for the vac line in the door plastic piece than instant gauge

its a single pod, here are some pictures, the area where "1" wire is going through is metal, cant cut throw it its thick, and I cant see where all the other wires are going, and this might be noobish but honest where is the firewall?

Okay, we honestly don't need another thread about how to install a boost gauge. The search function is very easy to use & works very well (& is in the rules to search before asking). Here, I'll help you out:

I know it may seem strange but in the last 20 years of having DSM's, I'm pretty sure your not the first to install a boost gauge

If you don't already know about it, check out VFAQ Site - Visual Frequently Answered Questions it will cover most of your install questions. Here's a direct link off the vfaq for boost gauge install:
