79585, Where did you mount your mbc?

I can't decide where I want to put it. I'm thinking about getting longer lines and mounting it near the battery? Tell me what you did.



Oh, you don't like altezza's? Too bad, your gonna get a good look at mine.

I guess you just used longer hoses to move it that far?

You want the shortest possible hose between the turbo and the wastegate. If you have it too long, you will have laggier wastegate response, boost spikes, etc.

So how long is to long do you think? Right now I'm looking at needing 6-8 inches. Think thats to long? I'm just trying to get up to the radiator now, that'll save me some lenth.

2-3 feet total should be fine, but 5-10 feet (running it to the drivers seat and back) is too much. Running good silicone vacuum lines will help.
