Default Guys, wiring help please

I'm about to start on installing my boost and fuel pressure guages. Can you guys tell me where you tied your power wire into under the dash? Basically where's it at and the easiest, cleanest install?

Also, where is the best place on a C6 to run the wiring through the firewall?

Thanks!

You're kidding me, no one can answer these two simple questions?



I'm sure that 9 out of 10 with a power adder have a boost/nitrous/fuel pressure gauges in there cars......

I used the seat heater fuse which is in the passenger side under the back of the floor mat. There is also a grommet behind the battery that comes into the same region.

To connect the power I got an add-a-circuit from autozone,

Sorry Bro, but mine is all run on the passenger side, because of the in car data-logger in my glove box, I don't think my app would help you...

Okay, I think I know what you are saying. The add-a-circuit is a special type of fuse that allows you to add a wire to the fuse with ease...right or wrong???

Is the only grommet most everyone goes through the one on the passanger side behind the fuse panel?





MR BIG, even though you were absolutely no help, thank you for posting anyway!

The add-a-circuit turns 1 fuse into 2 circuits. You pull out the original fuse and plug this little box with a wire coming out of it into the socket. The box has 2 fuse sockets on the back of it. 1 for the original fuse the other for the new circuit. Then the wire is your guage power feed.

That is the only grommet I could find.

Okay, thanks for you help marsc6! That's the route I'll probably go!
