Default Installing wideband + boost datalogger on C7?

I've just installed a Procharger on my C7 and now I want to monitor the AFR's and Boost. I've installed these sensors on other cars, so I know the basics of what is required, but I'm hoping to get some tips and tricks for things like:

1) Where is the best place to feed the o2 sensor through?

2) Where is the best place to pick up a 12v for the datalogger where I can also stash the box? (behind the glove box maybe?)

3) Is it easy to tap into the RPM signal from the answer to (2)?

4) Can wires easily be fed through the firewall to the location of answer (2)?


I'm not going to be installing gauge pods, so I'm hoping to avoid having to pull too much of the trim apart. Instead I will most likely be using a laptop connected via serial port to the datalogger.

Get the Ngauge. Works like a charm!

Thanks for the suggestion - I hadn't even heard of that one. In the end though I have decided to go for a Zeitronix ZT-2 setup.

I don't want gauges as I'd never look at them (too much going on on narrow UK roads), so I just wanted something that would log everything to a laptop and replay it later.

I still need to know the best place to wire it up though where I can get the o2 sensor cable into the car, pick up a 12v and get a couple of wires through the firewall for the boost sensor.
