    Is there any other way to get the vac line for a boost gauge into the engine bay without going through the passenger side firewall? I'd prefer not to make a huge detour.

    You can poke a really small hole in the rubber where the steering shaft goes through the firewall and fish the line through there.

    Once through, go straight up with it and to the where you want it, use a zip tie or something to keep it tight against the firewall.

    Thank you! Sounds like a good idea!

    If you T into the vac line under the supercharger snout, it's really not that big of a detour.

    It works. It's not a show car anyway. And it's not a hard fix. Who cares?
