Ahhhh I see!

Just take it in one of the existing Grommets in the firewall!
(Speedo or Main harness)

Gotcha. Much appreciated!:icon_bigg

 

[IJ.]

Very welcome!

There's LOTS of crap on the other side of the firewall to run into with a drill that could be bad/expensive!

A "trick" I use is a piece of coat hanger wire straightened out slip that in past the grommet then tape the Boost Line to it and pull it through.

Niceeee. I like that idea.

below the clutch master cylinder there is plenty of room

just double check on both sides and you will be fine! and it's much better than going thru the speedo grommet, which is a hassle cause speedo cables seem to break really easy on these cars (especially if you like doing e-brake pulls at 40MPH)

Will: Ignore that it's RHD but this is how I did mine you can see it coming out of the wiring harness.

IJ, remember, I'm no joe supra mechanic,

comming out of the firewall is a clear vacumm line right ? and you just tap into another vacumm line right ?...
I'm trying to see what your showing me in the pic ?

That's it Will not rocket science !

You just T it into an existing boost line on the back of the manifold.
