Hey guys,

I've searched around and all the how to's and threads i saw either werent for the 4th gen, or had no pictures to accurately show me where I need to go with these wires......

I have a mechanical Oil pressure and Water temp gauge, the thing i need to figure out is where I can run them through the firewall. They are going up on my A pillar, so I would preferably want to either 1. drill a hole or 2. find a hole to run these tubes through.

Any suggestions on where in the firewall i can go through? thanks

I would just run it through this hole. It has a rubber gromet in it and you can just drill a hole in it, like I did for my amp wire......

i have my amp wire running through the same gromet, however my gauge tubing isnt long enough to stretch the dash and then into the engine bay, i am looking for something around the gauge cluster etc.....thanks for the help tho!

I drilled a hole right below the master cylinder for my gauge pod, oil psi and vacuum. I then used a gromet to seal the hole.

There are a few gromets on the drivers side of the car. I used a gromet when I had a plastic line, but at one time I thought it was leaking so I changed to a copper line and had to drill a hole so as not to pinch the line.

hey absolut, are you running electric gauges? i have mechanical but i am thinking about selling them ebcause i heard that mechanical gauges are dangerous, because of the oil running up through the piping...any thoughs?

Absolut

I used Mech gauges, I like the full sweep better than the 90degree that the electric gauges offer.

It they are installed correctly, you shouldn't have any problems, I didn't in the 15k miles or so I had mine installed before I sold the car. I still talk to the current owner and he hasn't had any problems.

I also belive that the mech gauges are more accurate, but don't quote me on that.
