in talking to some about tuning my A28s, the subject of an boost controller came up. so it got me curious as to where you guys have mounted them in the 996? i remember seeing a couple pics of completely fabbed center console pieces with multiple gauges, and i believe one on the steering wheel column. i have thought about pulling my single cup holder, and putting it there. i dunno...

so just interested in what you guys have done. show what ya got!

 

No takers?

 

i wanted my car to look like stock, i put it in the armrest compartment, just a few times i needed to really check the boost as i was configuring gains. %, etc

 

Same place for me too!

 

I have an meth injection setup as well so I mounted the two together in the din slot above the climate controls.

awesome looking setup!! quick question. if the car is tuned to 1.2 bar on 93 oct fuel and race fuel is just to difficult to aquire would a boost controller be a waste?

 

The car runs 1.4 bar on 93 octane, I ran the EBC so if the Aquamist unit fails it turns off the EBC and runs on waste gate pressure only. I do not have to worry about blowing the engine if I stop injecting Meth. I don't see why you would need an EBC for a 1.2 Bar 93 tune.

 

Jonty, where did you get the surround for your stereo? I'm thinking of getting aftermarket head unit with nav. Any recommendations on head unit? Thanks.

 

It made it from a piece of plastic and painted it a 30 min job

 

I tried to do the wastegate only 1.2bar thing, but slight changes in weather would require getting under car and adjusting them.

Put in the greddy and didn't have to mess with it. Well spent $ in my opinion.

 

I have my Greddy Profec B mounted in the "batwing," right between the seat heater buttons. It's a pretty good fit.

 

Same boost controller here but mounted in the glove compartment....I don't want anybody to be courious about it...kids could mess up the setting.

 

was also thinking about the "batwing". Ive only seen one clean picture of it.
Question tho... how did you secure it into the spot? fab a bracket? double sided tape? magic?

thanks for all the help guys.

 

here is the set up that i like. its by evoms

 

The steering wheel in the second pic... More info please..
