Boost tube through firewall?

I have everything wired on My Meth kit, besides the wire to the solenoid and the boost tube. Where can I get through the firewall that will place me near the charge pipe on the other side?

If you take off the panel under the steering wheel column, and you look to the part where the steering goes through the firewall, you'll see a rubber grommet piece that surrounds the actual steering column; that's where you can poke through with a coat-hanger to lead the boost tube/wiring through.

That's where I used to set up my Rixster vented boost gauge.....

Hope this helps

1 Under the steering wheel there will be 3 Torx Screws.

2 Drop the panel

3 on the bottem left corner there will be a rubber nipple poke a hole threw it with a screw driver or somthing

4 run the wire and you will see next to the power steering i believe in the engine bay,

I just poked through a rubber gromet next to the steering column, and all I hit was solid wall behind it....

Do i need to drill through it?

No drilling is required. Look at steps 12-15 in the install guide. I used a metal coat hanger and taped the tubing at the end and pulled it through to the engine bay. Hope this helps.
