Boost controller solenoid location

I am finally going to fit my boost controller...soon... Just looking at the Blitz dual solenoid that I have to locate somwhere and it is quite large, where have people put it? best location pictures would be good please

Just fitted my greddy a solenoid last weekend. Mounted it on the bolt for the wastegate vsv. So it sits between the fan and the turbo. The pipes have to be kept as short as possible and mounted in a cool place. The pipes on mine ar 6-9" long and I figured that directly behind the fan would be nice and cool. Not sure how big/what shape the dual solenoid is, but mine seemed to fit perfectly.

which fan? do you have a picture?

Is your solenoid a dual one or single? I have both but will be using the double one and its it massive compared to the single. Much bigger that twice the size.

Car isn't here at the moment, Possibly not the coolest place but has good airflow and just seemed to fit with a bit of tweaking to the bracket. The profec A also has 4 pipes and the routing worked well here for me. Kept the pipes as short as possible etc

I've to fit a Blitz dual solenoid next week.

I bought it second hand so I'm missing some of the fittings.

Does anyone know what size vacuum pipe you need to fit onto the solenoid

and what size is T-piece to you need to fit to the vacuum pipe at the back of the control unit?

-Cheers...

Seems like a nice tidy place to me.

One thing to bear in mind though, that fan pulls cold air through the radiator to cool it. So by the time it comes out that size I would imagine it to be warm air.

Yeah I thought about that, but I figured that With the undertray under the car, bonnet closed, heat of the engine etc. there can't be many 'cool' places under there. It also needs to be close to the turbos which generate huge amounts of heat. so better to be in front of them with air flowing over it than between or behind. If you get me.

Yep thats where i fitted mine too. the pipes didnt seam long enough to be able to fit it anywhere else. But works fine and looks tidy.

Can you not mount it on the inner wing or chassis rail? Thats where it is on mine

i have mine behind my air filter,

as above the pipes need to be as short as possible from the turbo/wastegate
