I was thinking of putting it there. Not sure if that is ok or not. It will be held on with 1 bolt...

I placed mine where I felt the lines would be at there shortest. Another good practice is to make sure the vacuum lines before the T taps (two lines come together) are equal leangth. Especially off the wastegates.

There is no mention of the vacuum lines being equal between the wastegates and charge pipe in the BP kit manual. Why does it have to be equal?

Just another thing I've been told by the professionals. This way the boost/ signal reaches the wastegates at the same time. This way you don't have premature wastegates valves opening from one side to another. Again not a high deal. But does make since. Look at the schmatics they have you tapping everything directly in the middle.

I figured I could post this here and see what responses I get.

I have the HKS EVC 6 setup in the car already and was wondering how this thing saves your settings.

Every time I preset a maximum boost and turn the car off, the settings gets reset. Anyone have any idea why?

The car isn't exactly running yet. I've been playing with the EVC 6 in ACC mode.

I'm not sure myself. But by reading some of the manual it looks like it would save by itself. But at the same time it does have a return function that sets levels back to baseline values. Then there's a data lock function. Read page 45 section 6.6 (data lock set mode). Maybe that's the key to all of this. Let me know? I can't even put my car in Acc.

For those that do not know, you have to HOLD buttons 3 and 4 together for a couple seconds to save the data.

This is with the newer HKS EVC 6. The one with the 4 buttons and does not have a knob.
