Default Gauge install question

For those of you with your boost and fuel pressure gauges on your a-pillar, where exactly did you run the wiring and vacuum tubing through to the engine bay? Did you have to drill a hole, or is there one already there? Also, on the autometer electric fuel pressure gauge, the directions say to put a fuse in the wire that goes to +12v ignition. Is this necessary, and where did you wire it to, a switched fuse in the fusebox, or an actual wire near the ignition?

Remove the battery there already a hole in there, just run the wiring thru. As for the 12V, you can get power from the fuse box or the ignition switch.

I'm running a regular pressure fuel gauge, I'm using a transducer thats located above the battery. I suggest using a fuse in the remote event that something happens to the guage, it will blow the fuse rather than having 20 amps frying the wires...
