im going to be relocating my batter to the trunk,im wandering if i should get the re-location kit or if that is not even worth it and just get some like 2gauge wire and pce it together myself,i already have a sealed optima battery.
anyone running this?

Do it yourself there is a good write up on homemadeturbo.com under projects

do it yourself works
it's usually cheaper and you get a better product overall
get some good OFC multi-stranded wire, some good connectors, and some good battery terminals and you'll be set.
smart move with the 2 gauge

make sure you make something to secure that optima in the trunk. a friend of mine made a box out of aluminum, looked great and did the job.

yea i will prob do it myself,do i run 2 wires from the battery for the engine(starter,fuse box)?or just run 1 and split it into 2?
thanks for all the input

I ran my (+) wire (0gauge) to a distribution block, at the firewall.
From there, I had separate ports for the starter, fuse box, and for my alpine HU.

It is a lot cheaper to DIY

If you plan on doing any racing though check with the rules. You have to have a sealed container vented to the outside.

can you get a battery container at a store or do you have to get them online?

Depends on which stores you live near...
some stores carry them (i think parts americas do) but be sure to check that the one youre looking at is approved for track use

summit racing is a good source. Spendy but good service and quality.
