I drilled a hole in the bulkhead beside the turbo and ran the hose down next to the centre section of the rear seat and in the centre tunnel cover (along the floor) and then up into the centre console at the front where the carpetted side sections meet the plastic covered centre tunnel cover. Works nicely and is invisible!

As Peter, you can feed the hose through the ECU wiring hole ,no need to drill .
