Thanks 1996man -- You are correct, I have the ACI widebody kit on her with mini tubs so I can tuck the 335's underneath.

I did the trunk mount inside the duffle bag thing. No body knew it was in there at all. I even had a friend try to pick the bag up when he was helping me unload my car.

Sorry, no pics though. I also put the activation switches inside the center console right were the coin slots are.

Do you guys actually put holes in the fiberglass? I only got the front bracket drilled through the compartment door, and the other bracket is just on the bottle..

Thanks bud!
That was before I ran it down through the compartment door.
I don't think it would pass tech at the local track with it just laying there like that.

I'm in the exact same boat as you were -- once I get the car back from the shop, I need to route the blow-off outside.

Since I have subs in the storage compartments, I need to find another route

anyone else have any pics of either their bottle setup ( maybe someone who has the stealth duffel bag approach?) or where you mounted your switches up front?

Here's my stealth switches. The wife blew the factor bladders for the sport seats in my 91 in less than 48 hours. Knowing that she would blow the replacements in less than 48 hours also, I changed up the panel from air valves to electrical switches from Radio Shack. The factory air pump switch was already momentary so I used it for the purge:



I put my solenoids under the battery. They are stealth here, and getting to them is pretty easy if I need to. Just pull off the fender piece that covers the battery. This was also an easy place to route lines and wires to from underneath the car:



Here's my bottle, complete with duffel bag:

WOW! now THAT is a stealth system! i like that setup a LOT! love the duffel bag and i wouldnt have thought to run the lines behind the battery bodypanel. good job on that. the sport seat controls are the best tho! that is pure genius right there! out of curiousity, where do you have ur purge coming out of the car??

I was thinking of using the fog light switch to arm the system and a microswitch on the throttle.

I can see it now.

To the passenger: "Gee, I wonder if it will go faster if I turn on the fog lamps?"
