BMG Dual drive extruder & mount more topwards

Hello, would like to know if anybody has BMG cloned extruder from Trianglelabs mounted on his JGAurora A5/A3. Also, I would like to mount it more top so I can shorten a bowden tube as much as possible. Would this work?

Sorry for the late reply, the forums were down. I have the BMG Cloned extruder and it works flawlessly. I even upgraded the bowden tube with a capricon tube. The Steps-per-mm I use for it is E840.
Here is how my setup looks:
I am still modifying the printer that is why it still looks messy. I will do cable management once my modifications is done.
More then happy to answer any more of your questions. @Jozko Remen
Have you ordered capricorn tube directly from E3D? Does it eliminate stringing? Your steps also seems to be quite big, even for dual drive extruder (double of base value), that's a lot. Can you ellaborate more on this, please?
I installed BMG, works fine. Calibrated extruder (mine was 795steps/mm) everything worked fine till powered off. Despite remembering value with M500, after turning the printer on, returns the factory value - as far as i remember - 205steps/mm.
Any solution? I can add it to every startup g-code, but would prefer some more solid idea.
Thx guys!
EDIT: wont make new topic. Is there any chance to bake own Marlin firmware with similar, colorful icon TFT support?

Can you help me in this matter?

Also, for dual gear extruder your steps/mm are very high, for BMG 410-420 is good. You CAN'T and SHOULDN'T measure needed steps/mm by extruding filament through hotend. Instead, disconnect bowden tube from hotend, cut filament right at the end of it (as it goes to hotend) and let extrude say, 100 mm. Measure how much has been extruded FROM the tube, not from hotend. Otherwise you will have to change steps/mm for each filament you have, instead of just adjusting flow rate in slicer.

I do as you say okay. Let's Solve the Problem Permanently First
