Which wires need to go to the engine bay? Power source under the steering column, O2 down the tunnel.

I went through the passenger side, no drilling required that way.

If you remove the battery you will see a huge wiring harness going into the cabin, if you remove the electrical tape you will have a lot of room for wires there.

I have my wideband, boost gauge, laser shifter, and meth kit wired through there.
