Default EBC Solenoid location (heat)

Hey folks,

I have an AEM Tru Boost EBC plus Tial F38 DPWG that I'm going to put in shortly.

As for the solenoid - what is the best mounting location to protect it from heat?

I put my solenoid on the cruise control bracket, tucked underneath the cruise control servo. I didn't want to have it hanging out over the manifold.

I have a Profec B ( older version i.e. big solenoid ) so I dont know how it compares with yours ?
I put mine between the battery and the Vac booster ( container )
See this thread I Velcro'ed mine to the battery
Opposite of how Vic did his

I like his better but mine was much easier
Hope that helps
Regards
Ed

If you're using a MAC type of solenoid, I would suggest that you mount it to the speed and reference connector bracket so that any of the vibration / noise coming from the valve is not transmitted thru the chassis. I welded a small tab on to the connector bracket and it has worked out well for noise and placement.
