Default People who have A Pillar gauge pod?

Guys,

For those of you who have an A Pillar gauge pod setup, how did you run your wires down to get power? I can't seem to find a hole running down the dash to the fuse area??

Thanks,
Jonny

Mine's kinda odd. My wires run down into the dash, then behind the gauge cluster (I had the cluster out to do this obviously) then ran over into the center console where they get power. My wideband is grounded in the center console area as well, whereas my boost gauge wire runs down to a ground point by the pedals (that wire got tucked along the outside of the dash into the rubber seal).

take the a pillar off, there is a small hole that leads down all the way near the brake/clutch/gas pedal.

It is kind of a ***** to do since near the a pillar its a very small area to get through but its possible.

When you take the a pillar off you will see where you can go, then just find some power and ground near the fuse box.

i would take a picture but my car is 2 hours away

I don't have any pics from when it was apart. I took a stiffer piece of wire and ran it down into the area where the gauge cluster sits, then electrical taped my wires for the wideband to it and pulled them up through. My boost gauge 12v is actually just spliced into the 12v power for my wideband gauge. Then one wire that runs across and taps into the key-on power wire in the hazard button, and another that grounds out on a body bolt under the radio/ash tray area.
