Where to Mount?

[BoostNV]

Hey I have a Turbo XS Dual Stage MBC. I am look for some opinions on the best place to mount it. Pictures would be great if anyone has any.

Thanks in advance

keep the vac line to the wastegate less than 3 feet, the shorter the better(as long as you can reach it and use it still). they are less acurate/able when you put to long of a hose on them.

somewhere by the intake would be good, just watch out for radiator fans.

Ziptied mine to the fan guard.

ive seen some MBC's attached to a screw from the valve cover.

I drilled two holes through the right headlight plastic liner thing in the engine bay. Held the MBC in place with zip ties and it's close to the boost source and wastegate actuator.

Here's some pics

Ooo, at least chew off the ends of those zips flush with the locks. Those damned things'll slash the hell out of you.

I was looking at this pic:

looks like they wrapped around some insulation and a hose clamp on it. I just don't know how it's staying there.

I zip tied mine to the fan guard like a bunch of people said. Works nicely.

Dont mind the engine bay, I am in the process of getting things ready for the t3/t4 setup. But you can see where mine is mounted.. Screwed right into one of the mounting holes in the fluidyne. Works for me!

Ziptied to the fan shroud.

Mine too... on a fan shroud. Seems to be the norm.


But if you are asking about the dual stage switch mounting, I think you should ask about "In the Cockpit Mounting".

I have the dual-stage from dejontool on right now. There isn't really anywhere to mount it on the 2g. I ended up putting it above the air filter. I got a joe p one from my friend, I'm just going to use that because the solenoid on the mbc keeps blowing whatever fuse it is hooked up to so it's basically a regular mbc. The dual-stage will be going to my bro.

I could probably use one of the radiator support bolts like it said but the only one that it would work with was the one right next to the overflow and the overflow is right in the way.
