GC8 Boost Controller Dash Mount

thingiverse

This is a mount for a Voodoo Manual Boost controller (or any common MBC). It replaces the removable ashtray part that clips in and out of your dash (present on my 95 STI, check to see if your Subaru has the same part). Zero modifications are made to your stock dash stuff, making it completely reversible. I offset the MBC so one can iterate the design with a toggle or small gauge for something else. First, plumb the MBC as directed (ECU tuning and boost gauge are required!). Then route the 2 vacuum lines from your engine through the firewall, allowing you to adjust the car's boost level on the fly. I added a 90° elbow to the Wastegate tap so both MBC ends face the same direction. I wrapped my quick print with 3M 1080 automotive vinyl, which is great for making car stuff! Also, my spacing on the factory spring clips was wrong, so I salvaged some random junk and made my own springs (the 2 black things in the picture). The fitment on this design isn't quite right but it has been made to work. Current flaws include: Tabs on the side are not tall enough for good fitment Tabs on bottom are a bit too tall and needed a bit of sanding to fit Screw holes are too large and placed too far away to allow the factory spring clips to be transferred over An o-ring should probably be added to the MBC on the inside to seal the screw's shaft to the back of the Mount, but it is being used as-is with no leaks besides the built-in bypass.
