Boost controller positioning?

G@NDY · December 05, 2005, 08:10:11 PM

Getting a boost controller soon, i was planning on getting a greddy profec b2, but im stuck as to where im going to put the thing. I cant put it on the steering cowling as i have a boost gauge there, and my stereo is a double din, so it cant go under that. I dont know wether to pay a bit more for the Apexi avcr, as it comes with its own stand thing, but i havent heard particularly good things about them so i would prefer to get the greddy. Any ideas

thought about under the steering wheel, but then i wouldnt see it and might kick it off with my fat knees :rollin

Cheers :god

That is the best place for it Scott mate, but i dont want to have to sell my re-boost gauge mount thing. maybe i could fashion something out of twine and hang it somewhere like a bauble :rollin :rollin

HMMMM............ I C your problem mate.. I spose the good thing is the unit beeps like crazy when it over boosts. (like missile lock in top gun. I thought i was gonna get blown off the road LOL)

I modified my dash to accomidate the fuel and boost controller, i moved the heater controls to behind the hand break. The other thing you can do is just buy a piller mounted pod for the boost guage to move that and put the boost controller on the cowling? that would better that conpromising on and getting the apexi just because it comes with its own stand IMO

Yep good point, i shouldnt have to compramise really, just for a stand, eh?? hmmmmmmm some thinking i ......think :wiggle

I don\'t have a greddy but i hear they are the best for the rotaries.

Ok maverick before you get carried away here :p Check out the Eboost unit. It will sit in a 60mm pod i think. It is an awesome unit. CLive sells them i think thay are about 350 quid but allow you to adjust boost to set gears and rpm

Sounds like a good set up....

Those Turbosmart boost controllers do look errrrr smart :rolleyes: The new plan could be to sell the boost gauge and mount and buy one of them!. IF !!that is they measure boost like a normal boost gauge?? does anyone know?? And can i still wear the big mirrored sunglasses? and listen to "take my breath away" on my tape deck :rollin

You are able to set an E-Boost to read either PSI or Bar

Hope this helps.
