Description

This is a mount for a Voodoo Manual Boost controller (or any common MBC). It replaces the removable ashtray part that clips in and out of your dash (present on my 95 STI, check to see if your Subaru has the same part). There is zero modification of your stock dash stuff therefore it's completely reversible. I offset the MBC so one could iterate the design with a toggle or small gauge for something else.

Plumb the MBC as directed (ECU tuning and boost gauge are required!) then route the 2 vacuum lines from your engine through the firewall and now you can adjust the car's boost level on the fly. I added a 90° elbow to the Wastegate tap so both MBC ends face the same direction.

I wrapped my quick and dirty print with 3M 1080 automotive vinyl, it's great for making car stuff! Also, my spacing on the factory spring clips was wrong so I salvaged some random junk and made my own springs (the 2 black things in the picture).

*The fitment on this design isn't quite right but I've made it work and won't revise it until I have another reason to take it apart. Current flaws:
-Tabs on the side are not tall enough for good fitment
-Tabs on bottom are a bit too tall and needed a bit of sanding to fit
-Screw holes are too large and placed too far away to allow the factory spring clips to be transferred over
-An o-ring should probably be added to the MBC on the inside to seal the screw's shaft to the back of the Mount, I'm using it as-is and can't hear any leaks besides the built in bypass.

Print price estimates

Planning prices for one print, not a final quote. Defaults use a size allowance inferred from the part name, not a measured or sliced model. Filament suitability must be confirmed.

FilamentUSD / printApplication notes
PLA$28.50Indoor prototypes; not a default material for hot vehicle interiors.
PETG$29.00General-purpose candidate; heat and creep need review.
ASA$32.50Candidate for UV exposure; verify temperature and geometry.
ABS$31.50Enclosed printing; review application and dimensions.
TPU$37.50Flexible designs only; not a substitute for rigid materials.
Nylon$37.50Moisture, tolerances and application require review.
PA-CF$42.50Filled nylon; abrasive filament and fit need review.
Pricing assumptions and exclusions

USD: ($6 setup + $3 finishing + filament weight × assumed spool cost × 1.25 waste allowance + print hours × $2.50 × material time factor) ÷ 0.65. Rounded up to the next $0.50.

Assumed spool costs per kg: PLA $25, PETG $30, ASA $40, ABS $30, TPU $45, Nylon $65, PA-CF $95. Time factors: PLA/PETG 1.0, ASA/ABS 1.2, TPU 1.6, Nylon 1.4, PA-CF 1.5. These are proposed shop rates, not measured production costs.

Design work, test fitting, hardware, shipping and tax are additional where needed. Multi-file sets may need several prints. Use actual sliced weight and time when available. Final pricing is confirmed in writing.
