I know u auto fairies use the clutch hole, but where are the manual guys running the vac line for the boost gauges and such??

On the left hand side of the console in the fire wall is the gromet that the auto change cable goes though as that is not being used on your car use that to put the pipe thouh.

It is partly covered by the carpet.

I put mine through the gromet in the passenger foot weill its up quite high so theres no way you can kick it.

It also it then very easy to get it close to the BOV to tap it in.

I havet fitted one but im pretty sure they mean around here

Nope, other side of the engine bay than that picture. that's where I fitted mine, just look in your passenger footwell and you should see it, it isn't hard to find and comes out really handy to the BOV location on stock pipework.

EDIT: Looking for it in your engine bay, go to the back of the plenum, look down in the gap to the firewall and you should see it.

I poked mine through the clutch cable gromet, then gooped a bit of silicon in there... there's plenty of room as I also have a amps big power cable and AFR gauge wires going through it

The grommet is easier to find from inside the car, get down with your head under the glove box, peel back the carpet you will see a grommet. Just push it completely out then pick it up from under the car. Drill a hole then pop it back in. It is also easier to feed the pressure line from the cabin.

I have 4 cables running into the engine bay so did them all at the same time
