To mount the e-Boost2, we picked up a 2 5/8-inch gauge pod and mocked it up on the A-pillar. Once we had it in position, we pulled the A-pillar molding, held the pod in the proper place and drilled the four holes for the mounting fasteners.

To make it easier to access the e-Boost2, we flipped the pillar molding over and sectioned out the piece behind the pod.

With the harness and the vacuum line attached to the e-Boost2, we then reinstalled the A-pillar molding, and popped the speaker grill so we could more easily route the wiring and vacuum line.

At the fuse box, we picked up switched 12-volt power, as well as a solid ground. The fuse tap that we used provides a fuse for that circuit, as well as an in-line fuse for our power lead.

We then connected our boost solenoid to the wastegate using the supplied vacuum tubing and fasteners. Turbosmart provides several connection diagrams to follow, depending on your wastegate and its arrangement within the turbo system.

Since the e-Boost2 is a 60mm unit, it doesn't quite fit in either a 2 1/16-inch or 2 5/8-inch gauge pod. The smaller pod requires some cutting to make it fit, but the larger pod only requires a bit of vacuum tubing around the edge of the hole to make a snug fit.
