just taken a break from fitting mine. i've tapped the power for the light from the X75 terminal at the bottom of the relay board so the light comes on with the main dash lighting. just having a coffee then going out to remove the ECU to get the pipe into the engine bay. i'll post some pics of the pipe run in an hour or so when i'm done.

pics of the pipe routing from inside the ECU housing to the T piece. i pulled the grommet in the bulkhead out as it was easier to cut the nipple off and pass the pipe through it with it out.

that grommet next to the grommet you have pulled out dave is where mine goes through to the ECU box.. i just cut a slot into it and passed it under the ECU loom then into the ECU box then along the underside of the dash and into the centre vent..

did you get the AWE kit? i just had enough hose in it to go in a straight line from the ECU to the fuel reg, if i'd have followed the loom i'd have had to use the force to make a connection

yup, that's why it took me 3 hours instead of the 1 they say on the AWE website. prolly have been easier if the pipe had had some length to it
