On mine the air compressor is located in the right hand storage compartment using a Preston Air Bracket which is not too bad for noise.

I think a lot of the relocated compressor noise issues come from them not being on propper mounts, ie rubber feet and such like to iscolate vibration from the body.

By its very nature when you remove the compressor from its factory supplied sound proof shell (they call it a turtle ) it will always be noisier The art is to mount it on rubber feet and deaden down the sound with as much sound proofing as possible. On my old car I used fire rated wall insulation and then put the sound proof lining from the turtle over the top (Back/Far Right) Worked a treat

95 litre tank with a BRC Sequent System fitted almost 6 years when the car had done 28k miles and to the best of my knowledge still going strong with 115k + miles now

My compressor sits in the same place as the one shown above, with no additional soundproofing. The only time I hear it is on start up and that's it.

I'd say BRC, I've had two done with BRC, just make sure you get the twin Genuis max reducers, and the high capacity injectors.
