Question Best way to route wires on column mount boost gauge?

I just got my Autometer boost gauge and cup. The install looks straight forward enough, but I'm not sure where the best way to route the power and boost hose behind the dash.

I want to keep it looking as clean as possible!

Anyone have pics showing the cable routing?

The factory option cup and guage have the wires/hose routed with a 1/4-1/2" black plastic corregated hose. I put an Omori guage in the stock cup and kept this routing, looks clean.

Yeah, but do you have a side/angle pic so I can see where they route the corrugated hose? Do they just run it over the back of the steering column under that bit of rubber?

BTW, still enjoying the ECUTEK Jefe?

Yup. You lose a bit of the tilt column travel because of it.

Thanks guys. I'll take some pics when I'm done to show it off. Hopefully the results will be show worthy.

Looks good. Doesn't look like there's a lot of room above the steering column for the corrugated hose.

imprezive one: You can pickup the corrugated hose from either your local auto-parts store or even electronics stores (like radio shack) might have them.

It's a VDO 52mm cup. $15.69 from www.summitracing.com
Edit: It requires some 'custom engineering' for it to work, but it will.

You can find split-loom at nearly any autoparts store, wal-mart, target, etc.. Look for the electrical supply section.
