Dim Sum Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Relocation of the boost controller solenoid.Juts wondering where people put theres. I'm just tidying around the engine bay, clearing out things and etc. Then i noticed where i put the solenoid is kinda messy. My is located near the driver by the brake fuild area, and im thinking about putting it closer to the Heat shield where is less noticable would anyone recommed it or maybe suggest a better place?

Mine is to the left of the suspension turret in this piccie behind the big black plastic box http://img.tapatalk.com/d55168f7-af47-0302.jpg Exactly the same place where i have currently setup at. I was thinking of moving it closer to the heat shield, do you recommend its going to be too much heat for the solenoid to take? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lude Posted February 21, 2012 Share Posted February 21, 2012 ive got mine where the air filter goes, that area. boost controllers are suppost to be as close to the turbo as possible, plus my greddy profec A is a noisy bugger too, so you cant hear it from inside the car when its down the front of the engine bay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
