Boost controller: where is the best mounting location?

I am about to purchase a Greddy Profec B II Boost Controller. Where is the best place to mount the unit inside the car and what mounting hardware will I need? I checked the archived FAQ on this topic but the threads no longer show any pictures. Also, do I need an adapter harness for this unit?

Can you post a picture for the under radio mount and tell me how you secured it in that spot?

It comes with a large piece of sticky stuff, so that's how mine is attached under the radio. I'll post pictures of that and also where the solenoid is mounted (I used a pre-threaded hole) later tonight.

And no you don't need an adapter harness. It comes with everything. You'll just have to do some very basic wiring.

I'm a day late, but here you go ...

Profec B Spec II is stuck to the top of the DIN pocket using the adhesive mat that it came with. I drilled a large hole out of the passenger side of the DIN pocket for the hoses and wires.



And this is where the solenoid is ... in a pre-threaded hole that came from the factory. ABS system is on the right. It's pretty much the perfect easy location.

Thank you for the pictures. Where did you feed the hoses and wiring? I was looking at feeding them through the steering boot.

On top of the steering column is where mine was mounted.
