With 1.5 dump the thing recharges from 23v to 28v in a flash!

How much are the aux chargers? Did I miss the official release?

Just PM Rob.

Rob has not established a price. The Aux Charger is still beta and has been modified to support the 1.5 dump pack. The current unit is the 3rd design version. I have run the previous 2 versions. Hopefully I should receive my repaired unit next week.

After running the 1.5 pack now for a week plus, I recommend everyone running this setup purchases the aux booster. Though the main controller and charger can get the job done, the recharge and ability to put the unit into safety mode is way easier than before when running the 1.0 setup with Aux booster. I believe once the the aux changer is added, the entire setup will be perfect.

Hopefully, I can convenience Rob to play around with the pedal engagement mechanism next......

I ran into an issue with mounting the aux box per instructions....the HID housing on the BRZ appears to be much larger than the FRS...the heat sink fan is sitting on the housing and isn't flush with the frame of the car...(Red Circle)

it's a bad cellphone picture but best I can do at the moment...

@DAEMANO and I are thinking of going to Lowes/Home Depot to find some sort of bracket to mount the box lower, towards the front of the car. (Green Arrow)

OK, I can move the slotted bracket to the other side and make it universal.

Thanks!

I'm going to have that issue too. Thanks for the heads up. If you guys figure out anything can you post it?

Thanks!

Funny I was thinking the same thing last night...if only the bracket was on the other side..

Is this something we can do ourselves? It looks simple enough...I'm not too sure what to use to mount the bracket on the other side though. Maybe there's more to it than that.

It looks like the bracket is just held in place by two screws. Not sure if removing the screws and flipping the bracket yourself would be considered tampering but it looks easy enough

I'd be very cautious about putting screws into the side of a box full of electronics that I couldn't see the inside of first.

What i was saying i that there's already screws there. The bracket is held on by two screws -_-.
No drilling required......

Just making sure I am imagining properly what you're proposing. So to clarify, you're suggesting rotating the bracket 180 degrees so it effectively lowers the position of the top of the fan and hopefully then clearing the HID?
