that part i cannot help with from here sorry! either corner will lead to behind the dash, but go careful as there are some ducting you would rather not drill into, feel behind with your hands to confirm available space first.
you can eventually pull the entire box out but is a lot of work.
here is some of it
Do you need to pull the entire dash apart like in the video? Is it possible to just drill a hole in a corner of the cubbie and snake the wires into the engine bay through the fire wall?
Just wanted to thank everyone from this tread i was PMing for advice routing the wires for my AFR gauge to my cubbie. I ended up penetrating the firewall via the path of the hood release cables. I used a hanger to snake the wires behind the dash into the cubbie and i grabbed power from the cigarette lighter. Mounted it in the Mighty Mouse single pod.

where did you drill the hole? Bottom right behind the gauge?

You do not have to take dash apart to install gauge.
I just installed an Aeroforce intercepter 2 1/16" gauge in just 1 hr.
Just pop out the USB Port in the cubby and you will have enough room to fish a light weight coat hanger down through the drivers side dash and pull your wires back through.
Then just drill a 1/2" hole directly behind the gauge,
Put a 3/8" stop on the drill bit so you do not get into any ducting behind the cubby.
Then fish the wire from the USB to the hole you just drilled.
This whole process took 1 hr from start to finish.
The hardest part was working under the drivers side dash as it is a small area.
I would kill if someone made a boost gauge to go where the lighter is popup and all!
dont think you are fitting a gauge like above in there but totally doable with other options. are you willing to invest to kickstart the project? send me your lighter popup assembly
