Take a look at BillM's DIN gauge install writeup, I think he covers the firewall grommet feedthrough technique pretty well https://www.rx7club.com/3rd-generation-specific-1993-2002-16/din-panel-gauges-577232/. Other options are to put it through the ECU harness grommet or drill a hole (not very desirable).

ill take a picture of mine when i get home for you...i thought it was easy, i just put it into a hole where it will travel threw the passengers foot area.

push a coat hanger through the grommet from the cabin tot he engine bay. secure the stuff that needs to come through to the coat hanger via tape or zip ties. yank it bak through the gromet. voila!

Remove the driver's side fender liner and you will see a large rubber grommet type plug. Punch a small hole in it and feed all wires/hoses from the cabin through there and up through the opening inside the engine bay below the igniter.

If you don't know what a fender liner is, you probably shouldn't be installing your boost controller.

u still want pictures? my stupid camera port isnt working so you have to wait lol

Did you look at what I suggested at all? BillM's guide has pictures and should clear this up for you. If not, you might want to get a friend of yours who knows something about cars in general to show you, because HDP makes a good point.

go out to Towers next week and i can show you how to penetrate the fire wall. i beilive that Noel (Black FD) runs the identical set up as you. he will be there and you can ask him all the questions you need.

The grommet is that rubber thing around the steering shaft. Poke a hole in it and use the coathanger/electrical tape method

Maybe you should follow your own advice... since you can't seem to follow anything else.
