Poke around under the windscreen from the inside. There is a hole there that has been painted over. You won't be able to find it just by looking. It's quite well hidden. Use a screwdriver to gently prod around till you find some "give".

Run your vac tubing through there. Should come out behind the ecu.

Pop a bit of sealant around the hole afterwards.

Hope that helps.

remove the plastic scuttle tray at the back of the engine bay below the windscreen, on the drivers side next to the ECU is a bolt into the bulk head. remove the bolt (it doesn't serve any other function than filling the hole) and that should leave you a hole into the cabin underneath the dash.

I had a mate help me out by pushing the vac hose thorugh the from the engine bay side while i was in the drivers footwell with a torch trying to find the end of it. it helps if you remove the long clip off panel below the steering wheel too.

i went through the plastic bung just to the left of the wiper motor, just made a hole in the center of it so it was just big enough for the pipe to fit tightly in it without getting crushed

side of the ecu, theres a bung pull it out, get a metal coat hanger push it through it will pop out under the steering wheels then slide your boost pipe over the hanger and pull the hanger back thnrough, job done nice and neat.

P.S put a nice blob of silicon were the gromet goes or cut the gromet to suit, silicon is easyer and better though. if ytou want pics let me know as i fitted my nomad double pod and gauges last weekend.
