you mean the turbosmart e-boost boost controller yer ? if so you can mount it any were you want nice and easy to read becuse its dig'y has alot of things to offer but most you wouldnt need you can tell it when to open waste gate to help with lag ect normally say you running 20psi it starts to boost by the time your at say 8psi the waste gates opens a bit till it hit 20psi then it fully open but all that time its climing to 20psi some boost is allready being let out makeing it take longer to make 20psi . with the e-boost you can tell it to not open the waste gate at all till say 18psi so it boost qiker ect has all the normal **** to over boost gut off ect ect in all i like myn but probly would not spead that abount of cash again

Most good aftermarket computers have an inbuilt wastegate function which does the same thing, so the $600 could be better spent towards a new computer IMO.

Why would you want 3? 2 maybe, 1 for racing fuel and one for street? LOL If you want less boost, just dont put the boot in LOL. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Not really, and it's a lot of money for a device that essentialy does what your after maket management will do anyway.. Motec can do anything, and they have there own boost controllers if you still want one later on.. Like for $600 the price of an e-boost, your half there to having a LINK computer installed and tuned by JPC.... I dont see how they can be justified in anyway... just a nice to have item IMO.
