Anyone know this best place to enter the plastic tubing through from the engine bay to under the dash for fitting to a gauge on the pillar ?

took mine under the fuse box.
yep, follow this link and in the second picture you can see what loks like a rubber trunk. cut off one of the ends, push the wire through and it will get stuck!!! you have to cut it from the other side(inside the car) as well. voila!!!
Or just put a Tee-piece on the original pipe under the dash....

What car is it ? Is it an 850 or 70 series....at least if it is an 850 you could just t piece the original pipe under the dashboard ( take under cover of right hand side and you will see a white pipe with a rubber sleeve on it ) .....
No it's a s70 so no original pipe there, is the grommet that I cut behind the fuze box ?
I have just looked at the link that irf left - could not be better - thank's a lot makes life that much easier !
Thats good to know,, I just ordered my 2 bar boost gauge and 3 meters of Tube,, so that will help out,,,,,,,
Many thanks to irf for the instructions they were first class, the only things I would add is the entry through the bulk head has four small rubber teats protruding from both the bulkhead side and from under the dash, when cutting off the teats leaving a small tube they just go into a common larger tube which you then have to find the oposite entry by jigging about the corresponding outlet, I found the best method was to tape the gauge tubing to a piece of wire and pull it through, apart from that - spot on - This has opened up a tin of worms for me because the reading is 15psi at max boost from a Rica'd ecu that I removed from my previous s70 that Adam set at 17psi . I have checked for leeks but seems ok, thinking of changing the boost controller over from my old s70, any ideas anyone, cheers Sam.
