I would stongly suggest mounting the Greddy in the console, so that it is visable. I made a custom enclosure in CF, but even mounting it in the lower storage bin with velcro to keep it secure would be fine. The reason I say this is that you can monitor boost at all times, as it reads out in real time - so it is like adding a boost gauge. Also, after every hard pull, it flashes the high boost for 5 seconds - which is great feedback to monitor your settings. Thirdly, you can make adjustments to boost very easily, even while on the fly. AND the Greddy has a high boost memory feature, which is accessed by pushing the lower left button 4 times (basically scrolling through the various settings in memory, then the last item displayed is the high boost memory). I use these features every day by monitoring real time boost on a regular basis and periodically checking the high boost memory. IMO, a visable mounting spot is extremely functional. Here is a picture that shows how I did it and it works fantastic. Colorinc, you should consider running your lines up to the front for the above reasons. Having used the Greddy for a season now, I think you would find it very useful.

That looks sweet John, we will definately move it up to the center stack.

Does the Greddy solenoid repace the factory one and is it in the same location? I noticed you removed the Y pipe. for easy install I assume? You did not remove the headers was it a ***** to R&R turbo with headers on? And finally how inconvenient is it to have the EBC in the console rather than in the dash? Thanks Mike
We also removed the y pipe to get to the fuel pressure regulator which was upgraded.

Tim,

You need to post a pic of where you mounted your boost controller.
