Not the windscreen - just the cowling (the plastic trim at the bottom of the screen).

I heard the hole is just under your accelerator pedal... i found this out after drilling a hole under the passenger side floor mats.

sandwich plate won't work with the fd, because there just very little room where the stock oil filter is, don't waste your money on it.

hook it up to your oil sensor on ur ecu. but in that case you have to get an electronic gauge.

here is my little setup for my gauges

all the wire go though the little plastic of the little triangle window

here is the wire comes out at the engine bay

here is where i tape the "t" piece of the vacuum hose

here is where i hook up the oil pressure sender and oil temp sender, tried with the sandwich plate, but no luck at all, it just tiny little space down where the stock oil filter is, so i custom make some hose and adapt to where the stock oil pressure sensor unit is.

and here is my vacuum reading when car is at idle
