Boost guage installation
I just took a look under the SC's dash and it looks like it's going to be a PITA to route the vacuume hose for the boost guage.
Where are you guys passing the vacuum hose. The MKIV Supra seems way easier.

1). The most common area of entry is along the main engine wiring harness to ECU where it passes through the firewall of the passenger side in general height of the glove box. You have to know how to pull back the carpet in the passenger side to get it through.
2). There is a substainal access and a firewall pass through with a lot of room available in the drivers side fender and wheel well. You will need to remove the drivers side upper wheel wheel and it will be obvious. There are some existing wires that route into it and enter the passenger compartment to the left of where my clutch peddle it.
For both you'll need a 10mm socket to loosen two bolts where that big rubber grommet is secured to the firewall.
Either of those will get you going.
