Default boost controller install

I have a Greddy Profec Spec B boost controller and had a question on install. I know where all the hoses etc go. How did you all run the hose inside the car to the engine bay? I was just thinking to cut a hole in the firewall to get the hose and wires through it. I can't run it where the ECU wires go, seems to me it will kink. So my question is.. where did you all run the hose / wires.

There is one on the drivers footwell where a clutch would be if it were a 5 spd. There is also the one where the ECU wiring runs through - it has plenty of room - trust me...

I made my own on the driver side and put a grommet in. Ran all my other gauge wiring and tube through there.

I quick question. . . I know you put a T in between actuators and then take that 1 host and bring it to the solenoid, but on the other side of the solenoid you are suppost to use turbo compressor pressure, when thats the there "stock" actuators went to before I unplugged them. My question is.. Do you put a T on the turbo compressors also? Or do I need to just run 1 compressor and put a cap on the other? Thanks !

Follow the wire harness along the firewall. On the passenger side firewall, you will see a rubber looking boot at the top, pull the grommet looking thing out and you will see that is where the harness goes into the passenger footwell. Let me know if you need me to take a picture...
