not for 2 gauge.....jesus thats thick !
i have a feeling you may be making your own holes for that one !
 
Have a good look around, there is normally a lug somewhere you can make use of.
 
No idea on the B7... but on my older B5 (2000 model) the ECU box sits near the firewall. I got 0 Gauge wire through the back of the ECU box. I had to take the cover off, run the power cable through there and down into the footwell.
 
why are you using 2awg cable? are you running about 12 amps or something??
4 or 6awg is quite enough for most installs!
 
Yes I would also question the use of 2awg, this is only required for 2.5kw of power. Bearing in mind no such amp exists within a reasonable price range why make life difficult for yourself?
2awg won't easily run along the door channels either.
