I need to run a power wire from the relay to the VAST fan, through the firewall. :P

Default Audi's provide for this
Look in the area of the driver's side firewall for rubber grommets where parts of the wiring harness already pass. You will see little nubs sticking out toward the sides of at least one or two of the bigger grommets. Snip the tip off of one of those nubs that is accessible--not more than needed to get the wire through-- pass the wire through it, and silcone seal it when done.
