Default Need to wire through firewall

Need to get 2 sensor wires for AL Priority from engine bay into cabin, preferably to passenger side as that’s where I want the cpu to be but drivers side seems looser. Where is the best and easiest way to get the wires through? I dont want to damage any oem wires. Left hand drive car in america.

The easiest way to route sensor wires into the cabin without damaging OEM wiring is usually through an existing grommet in the firewall. On most left-hand drive cars, there’s a main wiring harness grommet on the driver’s side that’s a bit looser, which is why it’s tempting to use, but you can also look for smaller unused grommets near the passenger side kick panel. Carefully drill a tiny hole or use a rubber grommet if necessary, and feed the wires slowly using fish tape or a pull tool, making sure not to pinch or stretch any factory wires. Seal the opening afterward to keep moisture and noise out.

So I don't have a specific point on this car, but this image I pulled from Topix of the brake module, shows a plug that I circled next to it, from inside and outside of the car. When I run things for audio, nitrous kits, etc, I find things like this and use them to pass wires/cables/hoses though.

IMO that's the best option, look for a plug in the body in the area you want to go though, and punch a tiny hole in it, pull your wires through. If it's somewhere exposed to water running across it, you can seal it with rubber tape or silicone, but down in that area it should be safe anyway.
