Doesn't fall out or move? That leaves me with another problem, what the hell do I do with my ECU? Guess I better find some bungee cords... Thanks for all the help though, really appreciate it.

Most that I have seen have simply laid the PCM (ECU) on its side in a location near the FWI and zip tied down so it doesn't move. Intense (and I assume ZZP and others) sell a PCM relocation tray so that the PCM isn't laying open and exposed

I might be wrong here.. don't the fans blow hot air out down and probably over there?

I ended up bungeeing both the ECU and the canister in place, modifying the foam piece to shield heat to fit around the intake, and used the access as bumpers so to say so both the canister and the ECU are good and set. Response is slightly better due to the intake being shorter than my last intake but I don't know yet whether it upped performance overall, I'll find out probably this weekend.

Thanks

Yes it does, thanks.
