its the noise that gets people thinking "dam im haulin" when in reality its the same, mates gts25t sounds dam mint on boost with pod and bov making a hell of a noise, but it aint fast, but sounds fast ;D
mine was near the front windscreen tucked up between the dash and pillar, like where a boost guard usually is and to check it works i used a coin on the windows
yes they are but if u think aboit it there not far from each other and thats why i said u may think its near the alternator when the starter isnt far from it, allgood now its going
the starter is under the alternator and towards the firewall sort of so could be the noise as its not far from it, follow the positive cable from the battery and see if its hooked up to the starter correctly,
