Hello All,
Simple question...
I've had mine mounted (profec type s) for the last 9 months or so, but dont enjoy the "clicking sound" the motor makes when it engages. I've got rubber washers insulating, but still quite audible. Those of you that have managed to silence these, please share a description and picture where you have yours mounted and any other tips you may have.
thanks
eric

Mine is in the engine bay, in the passenger side corner near the abs unit. There is a threaded hole that you can bolt it into. I never hear a sound from it.

thanks guys.....
ok, i just switched the mounting location...a 1.5 hr job because i needed to use new hoses due to the longer run.
do you guys have it mounted with the wires facing up? no problems with it getting compressed by the hood?
ill post a pic in a bit

ericwarren

well that didnt work...even louder now.
do you guys use a massive rubber bushing or just a rubber washer?just in between the car and the mount or also the screw and the mount?
do you have the screw cranked down or just lightly tightened?
i much prefer hearing the whoosh of the turbos to this clicking...
thanks

Mine is mounted on the lower part of the frame, yes I know there is no frame , to the front of the car about 3-4 inches from the wastegate actuator .In front of the turbo so no heat will harm it . It is so far away that it can click as loud as it wants and no one will hear it . I drilled the wall and installed polly nuts like I used on the ETB s first design .The rubber hoses are held in place by a two part two hole clamp that bolts together .After about 4 years no problems .

I have the exact same boost controller and felt the exact same way you do about it. That clicking sound is annoying after a while. All I did was have it wire-tied to a wire harness and then wire tie that to the ABS. I know this is probably not the best idea but I don't hear any clicking now and everything still looks and operates as before. This has been for about 2 months or so.

I have mine mounted on the backside of my intake box. I have a Greddy ProfecB, never heard anything from it.
