sorry, not greatly explained, im going about the relocation atm, its not finished yet, my mechanic reckons he can move the ecu to the boot, but if not probably into the cockpit somewhere, will get pics up wen i have it done
Id want to move it to behind the dash somewhere. You extend them wires 3-3.5 metres and you might start getting some resistance or interference issues on some of the lines and if so, could have some dodgy running issues. Unlikely but something to think about
Thats a good idea actually :o i was considering putting it in around the back of the passenger side foot well so its easily accesible should anything ever go wrong, what you think?

cheers, car is still over at the mechanics, but will definetly get some pics up wen is back
Id be more looking into mounting it behind the dash although room can be a big issue! Depends what the interior of your car is like really. If you dont mind that track spec look, just bolt it to the dash somewhere but if you like your comforts, you could always mount it behind the passenger rear card (assuming you have a 3dr) But i really would suggest high quality cable. TBH it probably wouldnt make a noticeable difference but you wouldnt want to do all that work just to start it up and it runs like shit.
Alternatively and probably easier, rotate it 90 degrees in the bay, mount it to the strut and put a heat shield around it and the wiring.
