turbo timer mounting spots

well i'm just about ready to buy my turbo timer and i am just curious as to where most of you guys have yours mounted. i would prefer to have mine less visable. so far my only choices have been either in the glove compartment or the the compartment below my stereo. if you guys have any can you post pics of your turbo timer mounting spot that are not very visable.


thanx in advance

I gorilla glued mine to the plastic cover behind the steering wheel, it doesn't obscure the view of the tach. Not distracting at night for me either. My friend mounted his under the steering columm, IMO after having one for a couple years now- turbo timers are a waste of money.

My HKS came with the car and was already mounted in the small rectangular AC/Vent hole beneath the steering column. Works pretty well there.
In any event, FWIW....since the stock turbos are water cooled, a TT doesn't do you that much good.

Mine is double sided taped to the driver side kick panel. It's hidden and out of the way. Also, the wiring is hid easily and only a short distance from the wiring under the steering column for the hook ups.

And in case you're wondering, I don't think I've ever hit it with my feet or knocked it off or anything like that.

buy a blitz TT - best thing I did - it's so small you can mount it anywhere (I flush mounted mine next to the steering column) - all the others are a waste of space.

HKS EVC V Boost Controller

I have the apex one and it's pretty small too. I just mounted mine also on top of the stearing column deal.

Mine used to be under the radio, in a box that didn't fit right. Then i took it out cause you don't really need one.
