Mounting MBC in the centre console

[EarL]

Hi guys,

I'm thinking of mouting my MBC in the lower space of the centre console. Is there any place though the firewall that's easy to get a couple of silicon hoses through?

Thanks in advance,

EarL.

Yup. There sure is.


If you remove the plastic that runs along the door sill (driver side), and the plastic cover over the rear speaker, and lift the carpet thats on the firewall behind the driver seat. There there is a grommet where a few cables already use. Get a load of hosing, and just thread it through. And thread it through until you can see it hanging out the bottom of the car from round by the intercooler. If you can't see it, you haven't threaded enough through. plug it all up, pull out some of the slack but not all so there's room for a little movement.

done!

I suppose you will be doing that in order to be able to adjust boost from your cokpit, but just keep in mind that with long hoses from the turbo to the actuator you run the risk of some serious boost spikes/overboost...
That's why I'd say to you to either get an EBC or leave the MBC in the engine compartment.

I thought about that last night, so I've decided to use two MBC's in the engine bay (one set to std, and the other to 15PSI), with a solonoid valve between the two. That way, I can have a switch on the dash to switch between high and low boost.

Thanks for the info guys.

I'm sure Grainger already do a valve that has a switch which is meant to be cockpit mounted, and has a hi/low setting. Can't remember where I saw it. I'll have a little looky later if I get a chance.
