HKS EVC V B.Controller

Where do you guys have mounted the EVC ? I'm having a hard time figuring out where to mount the display unit

Pics if any available!

Hide it in the middle console. Nice and quiet.

Yes,for an SAFC II,you like? The best part about mounting that way is that it can easily be pulled from vent and stashed in compartment above left knee,out of sight.
Then when you get back into car,it is still there,just pull out and place back in vent so that it is accessable to see/use.Helps prevent theft and is not permanant mounted

I mounted my screen in the same place, but I put it right next to the sterring wheel and the vent. I just used double sides tape. I can see it just fine and driving next to the car, it's not visible. It's a clean look without wires showing.

HKS makes a mounting bracket for the EVC screen. There was a guy selling one on here a couple weeks ago.

Here is a pic I just took. THe wire runs in the steering colum and it can't be seen at any angle. I have the actual boost controller mounted in my glove box. I dremeled a small hole and ran the wires behind it. THis was a quick pic, but if you need anymore pics let me know and I'll take some. My boy was being pissy and had to rush.

What keeps it from flying out when you launch?

The tight fit It's all about the BLING........Never once had it so much as move.You actually have to adjust vent to be pointing straigt up,slip mount in then push on bottom of vent to get into straight position and it holds "like a glove".Then when you park somewhere just point vent straight up again,remove and place in stash spot above left knee,out of sight,out of mind

I have mine mounted on the lower lip of the dash...

I did have it mounted against the dash, but the sunlight was washing it out. This location is awesome for viewing at WOT.
