Question Installing SMC kit in a TTA?

Anyone who has done this I would appreciate some input as to where you mounted the tank so the supplied hose works. I am leaving tomorrow afternoon for my east coast trip and need to get this in to afford gas. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks to Randy for rushing it out here now all I have to do is find a good place to mount it.

You mount it where the charcoal canister is(was). It fits nicely in that spot. I run the braided line along my MAF pipe. And I have the controller in the console.

Turn up the boost and enjoy

I have not moved my canister yet, where can I move it to and do I need a relocation kit. The line that came with my kit does not seem to be long enough to reach the uppipe. Any hints?

Before I took it completely out, I just laid it on its side under my air filter. I have a 8" K&N and it was fine under it. But I figured it was blocking some airflow, so I took it out.

If you told Steve it was for a TTA, he should have given you a long braided line. I think mine is probably a good 2 feet long.

I made a custom bracket to bolt it in front of the radiator, off to the side. Drilled a hole and put a hose extension & cap through the hood latch/sheet metal cover to fill the alky bottle. The braided line runs up though the gap between the hood latch & rad support (doesn't kink here).

Hidden & out of the way. Now if I could just get my ass out there and tune the car some...
