Where is the best place to route wiring

Can somebody tell me where is the best place where I can route some wiring to control extra Injectors on an elbow from the cockpit to the engine bay?

It has to be nearest to the stock wiring harness that will remain in place.

Remove the plastic trim in the passenger footwell area that covers the factory ECU....

If you go under the hood and look near the ABS unit, you will find a hole in the fender...

Using a coat hangar or something with the new wire harness taped to it, you can push it through the fender and into the ECU area....

Good luck!

Oh, I saw you said "elbow"... I was thinking of extra injectors in the manifold...

There is a similar path on the driver's fender side... so you could route the wires in on that side too.

Ok thanks wargasm I will look near the ABS unit. Do you know how large in inches is the hole?
I know I said elbow but its going to be attached to the same injector drivers for the secondary injectors and the additional ECU will be place near the stock ecu mounted below the glove compartment.

Since they are on the elbow, its probably best to go through the driver's side. Remove the fender liner for the driver's side wheel and you will see a rubber and plastic plug that is 1-1.5" or so in diameter. Remove the plug and you can separate the plastic part and slit the rubber part to slip some wires through. The big hole allows you to pass a fairly large connector through the firewall (in the fender well). There is a hole though the fender near the ignitor or under the cruise control unit if you have cruise control. The hole is a big and allows big connectors to pass through into the engine bay. Then you can pull the wires over to the elbow to connect to the injectors.
