Do you mean inside the cabin or inside the bonnet, on the bonnet its on the drivers side inner wing down the channel, follow the line cable from the bonnet release :wink:
from the cabin its behind the pull lever, just follow it

If that was aimed ate sorry mate I don't. But literally take the glove box out and look at the fire wall there will be a black rubber grommet. Take it out and you can see the polen filter housing. Them just feed your hose through.

I have my amp wire and boost gauge through here. Just make sure you seal it nice and tight.
