Boost and Fuel Pressure

I am installing a boost and fuel pressure guage today and was wondering if anyone had and tips or suggestions on the best routing for the wires? Both guages are going to be mounted on the A-Pillar. Thanks

One wire and one tube coming in from under the hood. I cut an inch hole in the firewall and put in a grommet for this and any future stuff coming through. Routed up between the dash and A-pillar. Tied in all grounds and power to the fuse panel on the side of the dash. Found some real trick connectors that plug into the fuse panel with fuses built in for these circuits. Pull the headlight switch out and find the line to the panel dimmer switch and tie your lights into it so they will dim with the dimmer wheel.

Nice tips, where did you find the trick connectors at?
