Alright, yesterday I ordered an air/fuel ratio guage and an electronic fuel pressure guage to go in my dual guage pods that I also ordered. Two reasons really, sooner or later (read MUCH later) I'm gonna put a supercharger on the car and I will need somewhere to put the guages, etc. Second, the pods will help hide the wiring for my radar detector that I am also going to get in the future.
So here's my question, how do you run the wires for the guages? Where do you get through the firewall, etc. I'm sure somebody has such guages, some info would be appreciated.

I have half a dozen or so wires that I have going through the firewall for various "accessories". I ended up drilling a hole in the area of the firewall right behine the battery. There is a portion that sticks out towards the engine and it makes for clean access. After I got the wires through, I sealed it with black RTV. All wires are wrapped in wire loom so it is hard to tell anything is non factory. You have to drill a hole in the a-pilar cover to get the wires run, but it is easy after you figure out where to go through the firewall. There are a couple of other places you can choose to go through too.

I got the pod and the boost meter from Ecklers.
Made the A/F meter from a Voltage meter and an operational amplifier.
