Default port i cant figure out..

theres a connection "port" ( ill call it that cause im a lil buzzed with this stuff im takin right now.. lol ) on the drivers side fairly close to the brake booster that the harness is connected to... what is that? im gona guess its for the gauges and lights and all those other switches. but when i looked at it, it ties into the engines harness. i can take a pic later if you need it, but i dont have one now.

The part that goes through the firewall? That is the bulkhead connector. Half of it will be headlight/ marker lightwiring and the other half will be engine wires (gauges, starter...)

All that stuff stays with the car. Your TPI harness will head over the other direction to the computer.
