paul_y3k Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 guys, I'm following the guide to fit a boost gauge from the mkiv supra site http://www.mkiv.com/techarticles/boostguage/bg.htm and attempted a dry run last night. However I've hit my first snag.... step 10a ... punch hole through small yellow groomet by the clutch ... I have no small yellow grommet, heck I've not even got a clutch pedal. Where should I be lkoing to run stuff through to the engine bay. I'm also going to be runnnig a power lead for the ICE soon so I guess it would be ideal to run it through all in one hit ? it was getting dark last night though, so If you assue me it's there then I shall take another long look at lunch.

Willson Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 Yeah, its kind of up and right, in the drivers footwell. You should find it next time you look. It's quite big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyefi Posted October 28, 2003 Share Posted October 28, 2003 if u dont have a clutch, there will b a black grommit in the engine bay filling the hole where it would b. this is the easiest way in. u can also come into the cabin through the wing and the yellow grommit but this is a bastard.

MONKEYmark Posted October 30, 2003 Share Posted October 30, 2003 you cant miss it its about the size of a 50p coin if i remember under bonnet at bulkhead so close to drivers. think its near the break cylinder. its about halfway down. i fitted mine and i aint to good at stuff but i will give it a go. have a look again mine was black on my auto not far from turbo at rear of engine on the big flat bit of bodywork.

tbourner Posted June 24, 2004 Share Posted June 24, 2004 My alarm cable goes through that hole on the driver side, I used the passenger side one for a 12v wire, it's the same on both sides except my passenger one was a bare metal hole (wasn't sure about putting a wire through that!!!). Hopefully be fitting a boost gauge soon, might have to use the same route, Except the pipe'll be on the wrong side then. Didn't even need to take the wheel and lining off either!! (Cut my hand to shreds though!). Does anyone fancy coming down to Hayling and helping me out when I get round to having a go? I'm not too confident about it!!
