Then you absolutely suck at searching. Only post something when you cant find the specific answer.

I ran my line by following these directions from fd3s.net

"Take off the driver's side front tire. Then carefully remove the screws and plastic mollys that are holding the black wheel well in place. If you work carefully you only have to remove those on the half closest to the driver. Now carefully pull this part of the black material away from the fire wall. Underneath you will find a black rubber cap. Pull it off and you have access through the firewall. The vacuum line should be brought off the manifold into the wheel well through a puncture hole you make in the rubber cap and then into the car entering to the side of the fuse box at the driver's feet. In order to replace the rubber cap you may have to first remove the nylon insert which is in the firewall. This is unusual in that it is removed by lifting up on a catch and then pulling on the two halves toward you almost as if you were braking the circumference."

I remember reading that along the wheel well of the driver side theres a pretty hefty hole for part of cars wiring harness to come through.. Along with the ECU side of course... but thats far away from the drivers side apillar or what have you. No drilling needed. You will see the huge harness in the wheel well... I havent looked yet myself but I bet if you follow that back there will be a big enough hole to slip the boost gague vac line through. I will see if I can dig up that thread so I can link you since my description is not the best.

Edit: Ahh yes the above poster beat me to it.

I used the opening beside the brake booster, below the cruise control unit.

Check how I routed my wire in my water temp gauge install.

I've got my guage going to the UIM fitting pictured above. But IIRC, you can also use a 'T' fitting and run it to the single vacuum line going to the Boost Sensor.
