Default Where to run vacuume lines for MBC

Where did you run your vacuume lines for your MBC? I am installing my MBC in my car and am not sure where to run the lines through the firewall. Pictures would be great!

I drilled a couple of holes in the floor behind the KLR with grommets. Closer to the wastegate and 'semi-hidden', no extra piping in the top of the engine bay.

Hoses can be run through with the battery cables with a bit of fiddle.

bit of fiddle could mean a crimped hose and a blown motor.
