Where are your throttle body controller located?
I'm looking for an ideal location for the TB controller.
I saw several places- the steering column between the gauges, a typical place after controlling the HUD when the car is not equipped with it. But it can also be a better place. Will you please show me your location? Thanks |

I put mine at the base of the steering column between the gauges. Easy access

Thanks, but it's unnecessarily far. I meant a handy place at hand. I got a controller in a set with ported throttle body. The ride is not bad. It's much better and the new tune has also contributed to a better gas response. But I still want to try the controller what it will do. |

I know some people like them and that’s fine. If I had one I would stick it on the side of the center shifter console. Think it would be easy to adjust and not be in the way there. That’s where I placed my switch for my floor led lights.

I had no problems with mine at all, the only reason I am getting rid of it is because with my turbo I don't need it.
Mine is for sale in the other forum. https://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=590099 Here is where I put mine, I put it here because once you set it you don't really need to mess with it much. But you can if you want/need to, and can see it without any trouble but it's not in the way. (Two sided tape held it for over a year with no issues)

It don’t come easy.

Hi George.
There’s an area just to the right of the steering wheel (arrow pointing to it in pic) that works well for a TC. Wires tuck away easy and you don’t see it while driving. Usually, you’re going to set it to what you like and won’t touch it after that anyways.

I set mine there because I adjust mine depending on the conditions. Cold starts in the morning I lower it because I find it’s too much at my final settings when the car is cold. Plus if I ever happen to get caught in the rain it would need to be dialed back. For me it’s more about pedal control and sensitivity than anything. Pushing the pedal harder really has nothing to do with how this thing works. I can fine tune my control of the pedal.

That is where mine is located also (technically slightly above since I have the Hud controls).
