Apexi AVCR Install in 1g
------------------------
This install really isn't that difficult if you feel ok with tapping wires at your ECU, and in my opinion the hardest part is getting that horribly designed wiring harness threw the firewall. If you have not yet looked at the AVCR kit you've purchased now would be a good time.
1. First off you need to find a place where you want to mount the AVCR display/control in your car. Several members of the forum make mounting brackets/kits that will allow you to mount them in several places. I simply put mine by the stereo and did a custom job.
2. While you're playing with the cars interior it's time to pull out the stereo and side panels so you can get to the ECU's wiring. You're going to need to tap into several wires there.
3. Now get under the hood and choose a mounting location for the boost control solenoid. They recommend a place far away from very hot areas and you need plenty of clearance for the rubber hoses. I've chosen to mount it right on the battery box, and trimmed the screws so they don't go threw. Wherever you choose, go ahead and mount it. Then pull the rubber hoses off from the airbox to the BCS to the T from the high pressure turbo outlet and the wastegate. Then simply connect the NO (normally open) part of the solenoid to the high pressure turbo outlet (a T off the BOV line is good here); and the COM port to the wastegate actuator. Make sure you close up any non-used ports. Boost control solenoid part is done.
