Turbo Timers and Boost Controllers - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Where does everyone have their turbo timers and boost contollers mounted in their cars. I'm looking for something sleeperish, so i was thinking about the change tray, ash tray, or in the glove box. I'm open to suggestions.

ive got the blitz sbc id III in my car and i have the control unit mounted on that useless sunshade thing behind the rear view mirror. i unscrewed it and turned it around so the shade is down all the time and i used mounting tape to secure the unit to it. makes it easy to adjust and hard to see from the outside. its pretty good also because i didnt have to cut up my ashtray or my dash....eventhough ive already done enough of that. my turbo timer is just secured with mounting tape just above the fuse box cover. it really just depends what kind of turbo timer and boost controler you have.

I've got my Blitz FATT stuck to the tray in front of the shifter, below the ashtray, with velcro tape.

You can't get more stealth than the factory boost controller location (under the passenger floorboard) and factory turbo timer location (the ignition).

You guys know me... just love raggin on ricers. And since this group includes the admin, I can rest assured you'll all realize I'm just being funny.

Anyways, while it isn't performance related, shouldn't this thread be considered technical discussion?

Actually I find my TT to be very useful... as a volt meter. The turbo timing aspect of it isn't that necessary, but it's definately nice to be able to run the car at an AutoX for a few minutes after racing to let it cool gently, meanwhile being able to lock it up and arm the alarm while I'm off to work.

Plus I used to use it to leave the car running w/ the A/C on, while locked/armed when I needed to run into a store or something real quick on a hot day... but I haven't done that in a while, since the car doesn't heat up that fast w/ the tint.

The admin's car is so rice, when I saw it out at Atwater I suddenly got a craving for teriyaki...

I feel a new joke thread coming on:

"You car is so rice..."

"...it's got raw fish on top."
"...it's not part of the Atkin's Diet."
ad. infinum.

I carry packs of soy sause in my car, so if i see a riced out car i open the pack, and throw it at their windshilds. I've been chased a couple of times, its great toying with them.
