No problem. Some mount it to the kick panel out of foot/knee range. Just remember you may want to adjust it occasionally. Initial settings should be done by a passenger watching the boost guage. Top of the steering column cover is a good spot, but the surface really hates 2-sided velcro tape(I tried). Just remember to check the ***** are pressed in during 'pre-flight', or a towel could spin them up when wiping down the instrument panel...... boom!

I've seen lots of owners with it mounted on its side with no changes in performance whatsoever. Just don't crimp the boost line.

haha ok, kewl guys. thanks

i ended up mounting it on its side right were your right knee is if your driving. its just right so that you can still see it and it doesnt get in the way. i thought about putting it on the steering column but i already got my turbo timer there. the glovebox doesnt work so well either, its just too damn small

but neways, thanks

You can hang the profec from the ceiling if you want, just don't crimp and wires/hoses.

I have mine in the glove box but I made a cheap "wall" for it to slide into, kinda like what people do to the 93 pass. airbag area. Basically my glove box is flush, non functional as a box.
