I'll take some pics when i get home from work and post them up, i haven't done the wiring for my guages yet just the senders and fitting the gauges. Just wondering how you went about getting wires up into the center air vents, i've heard you can drill a hole into the air duct near the steering column and feed the cables up?

Yeah my boost gauge hose and cables come through the firewall near the wiper motor on the drivers side and comes out near the fuses in the kick panel... seems to be a pre-punched hole... works well... but yeah need to work out how to get up into the air vents.
