If you remove the LF wheel and rear section of fender liner, there is an easier and cleaner route than the steering column grommet.
Credits to BillM. The whole write-up is excellent, but looks like routing is on page 6.

I run all my wiring through LF wheel line, but for my gauge hose, I drilled a hole in the firewall.

If you are just doing the boost line, the steering column grommet is very easy to go through.

I have all my lines and wires running through the same hole in the fire wall that the bonnet release cable goes through.
