you can use a new line all the wat to the lil vacuum tree on the intake and rout it that way or there are oodles of other spots you can 'tee' in to

3/16 ID fuel line fits great over the line for the factory boost gauge line right up front by the battery you could use some of that to splice in to it

What Mikey said...

To penetrate the firewall, there is a short conduit above the driver's side footrest. It's capped off at each side; look for a rubber cap with three nipples on each side.

Why noy use the line at the Dash if you look under the dash you can't miss it.(from the stock guage)

The oil sender location is in the pic.
