Default Picture request - FPR mounting location

I have a Fuelabs regulator that I am looking to fit this weekend. Just had a look around for possible mounting points and have drawn a blank so far. Just wondering if anyone has any pictures of where they have mounted theirs? It's for a 95 WRX.

I originally mounted mine to the bracket on the intercooler, dump vavle side. Seemed as good a place as any.

If you ditched the Aircon or didn't have to start with, then on the inner wing behind the fuel filter.

I was hoping to mount it around that side of the car but like you say aircon doesn't help

Hole saw

1 Use hole saw to make new hole at front of inlet,

2 Drill 4 holes and attach throttle body with bolts

3 weld FPR over hole where throttle body was

What a fooking fiddly job it is replacing the standard fpr with the adaptor. Not something I want to do again in a hurry

Yeah little over an hour. There's just no room to do anything. Haven't put the regulator on yet. That's a job for later when the sun moves round a bit.

Still no idea where to mount it though Gonna have to be tie wrapped for now just to check it works.
