why hidden? you have a fmic so everyone knows you are boosted. i would just look for a place that it looks clean under the hood.

Factory bolt holes FTW!!!!!! Not hidden, but it looks ok there, its close to the WG. And it utilizes factory bolts/bolt holes so it kinda has the appearance it belongs there.

Thats what i ment by hidden. Just a clean spot. I will most likely put it in there area where icc has his, or make a little bracket and hang it behind the headlight.

Closer to the WG the better . Make sure it has a good pressure source as well

Mounted mine behind the bumper/driver rad support area. Can't see it at all and it's about 5" from the wastegates.
