Wideband sensor placement and cable routing?
It's a bit tight but the exhaust is in its top position and I don't think it moves that much up and down at this position ?
I was planning to route the cable up under the heat protector, then forward along the torque tube and up on the backside of the engine, any opinions?

I just did mine this weekend. I was going to go through the shifter but didn't like the idea of punching a hole through a perfectly good rubber shift boot. Ended up just routing it on the right side of the torque tube and bellhousing. Cable runs about 4-5 inches away from the wastegate but seems to be far enough away from the heat. Then ran it through the grommett for the vacuum canister into the battery box before going through the hole in the firewall that the horn cable runs through. Had to de-pin the molex connector to the harness with a terminal tool to get the harness though the small holes in the battery box and firewall.

Similar to my thinking although I'm going up just to the left of the engine "center line".

I routed my Innovate LC-1 under the car to the left, up the inner fenderwell (where the charcoal canister... was) out the hole where the line to the charcoal canister passed through, then through a hole near the brake master cylinder then down to where my aux fuse panel/ground strip are in the driver footwell. If I wasn't running an A-Pillar setup I probably would have run it up through the center tunnel, I still might sometime in the future.

Just got done with my LC1 install tonight. Bung is welded at the 12 o'clock position, right behind to hanger bracket and basically goes striaght up to the shift boot. The control box is sort of jammed between the buttons on the center console and my 968 cubby w/boost gauge... not the most ideal spot but I didn't have enough cord length to do any better. I have the gauge routed through the glove box. I'm thinking about mounting it onto a piece of metal that has like a hook so that I can attach it onto the air vent right below the trip reset button when I want to see it and just toss it into the glove box all other times.

Two pictures of the routing.
I hope it isn't to hot up at the torque tube since those are plastic tie-raps (the sensor cable runs at the top of the torque tube).
The cable follows the clutch fluid pipe up the back of the engine, only problen with this routing is that the connector between the two cable parts can't be fixated in a good way, but i hope it will work.
