Trying to install my mechanical Boost gauge but I cant figure out where is a good place for the hose to go through the firewall.. No idea what im doing! I want the gauge to sit on my dash on the right of my steering wheel.

Mitch ... you say
"No idea what im doing!"
....
You really should plan & research such mods with other members who have done similar before you attempt them.
It helps prevent any unnecessary & unexpected dilemmas that might occur part way through the job ....
Try-It next time ....

I used the grommets behind the front wheels that go into the chassis rail then out by the kick panels

Drilled a hole.... Brave man.
If you pull the carpet behind the accelerator pedal away you will see a grommet that goes into engine bay. Cut appropriate hole in grommet, feed tube through, put grommet back in (i used flat head screw driver). Feed tube to wherever and use cable ties in engine bay

You can try here. Not sure if yours will have the lining that covers that area. Mine doesn't.
