Anyone able to recommend a drill bit / piece / thing for cutting 3" holes in my chassis nice and easily for boost pipes to run through? Don't really fancy cutting squares and covering with spare rubber window/door seals!

plasma cutter / hole saw / jigsaw if your feeling rash....
note, on mine i slid a silicon up over the hose where it went through to stop any knocking / protect it a bit.
