AVC-R installation question (I did used the search button)

I'm in the process of installing my new AVC-R and I was wondering how and where to pass these huge connectors. I mean there's no hole big enough in the firewall to pass them !

Any ideas ?
Thanks

Yep,
I took my passenger inner fender well loose and unhooked my ECU connectors, poped the huge main harness plug loose from the body unwrapped the plastic tape from the plug (boot) and wires fed the AVCR wiires through the boot with enough slack to the inside of the car stripped back necessary connection on the connectors, soldered the corresponding wires fron the AVCR to the proper stripped wires on the ECU connectors, taped bare connections, rewrapped the boot and wires, placed the boot back in the body ran the AVCR wires out the hole in the fender, under the ABS along the fender in the engine compartment and the one to the boost sensor along the fire wall. Put the inner fender back together and pluged everything back into the ECU. Pain in the butt, but it doesn't leake water and looks stock.

Is it hard to pop out the plastic harness from the connections ? I can't figure it out and I don't wanna break anything...

I'm guessing your referring to the connections at the ECU ???? Working on this car inside is a PITA for me, I have to take the ECU loose from the kick panel, and turn it around so I can use two flat blade screw drivers to remove th connectors. (one I use to depress the lock tab, the other I place the blade in a little groove in the connector) is between the connector and the plug and twist to free the plug from the ECU. Then you and pull all this through the fire wall to do the other stuff I mentioned. Jack
