BR MBC Mounting Locations

Where is everyone mounting the BR MBC? I couldn't find anywhere with a bolt to put this thing

My hoses are fairly short but I had planned on putting it on the battery tie down bolt.. til I put the air box back on and it was too close for comfort

Pics would be great!

Well, I have an early style hallman with no mounting bracket, and I use zipties to tie it to something. You can do the same with most MBCs.

Not off the top of my head. I took the bolt off and went to HOme Depot and sized it up to the proper diameter wing.

i have my hallman mounted to the driver side cooling fan bolt...at the top of the radiator...its very stealth and the knob sticks out just far enough to be able to turn it without having to move or remove anything

I find this is the best place to mount mine. You'll have to look closely to find it.

Nice.. I'm not so sure mine will reach that far but I will check it out in a bit The main problem is the angle that the screw hole is on the BR MBC.. doesn't allow me to mount it like EVOtagger posted above.

That's cool. Glad I could help and like you said it does look like it's just part of the car.

Checking mine too.. getting a decent amount of taper

It's really hard to watch while driving.. I may have a friend make a video of my boost gauge so I can come home and analyze it.

Looks like right now I'm peaking around 1.35/1.45 and tapering downt to 1.2/1.1
