Not the safest or best place but some do wire it inside the car ie. glove box, or under passenger seat. Just ideas but yes it is best to find somewhere in engine bay. Good luck.

no, you want to keep the case exposed to air. if you dont have a cai you can mount it where your air resonator is. otherwise you can ditch your cruise control and put it there.

Good question. I'm in the same boat. I ended up making a make shift plate and mounted it to the bolt location that the OE intake arm mounted to by the ABS unit. I'd eventually like to re-mount it in the fender well area to keep it out of the way.

What I should do is take it out and sell it since I don't really make enough power to warrant one. But i got it for cheap and I wanted to see if I felt any difference. And except for a bit better idle, I feel no diff. I'm just too lazy to take it all apart again.

Good luck!

if you can't fit it inside the engine bay (i wasn't able to, either), you can mount it under the passenger seat as long as air is able to go underneath the box. the best way to do this is to buy a mounting kit, such as

or you can make your own by going to home depot and do it yourself. that's how i mounted mine underneath my seat. good luck! and hope this helps you out!
