    You could splice in some longer wires (solder them so they are done right). Then mount it wherever you wanted.

    Usually just mount them in the stock location or ziptie them there.

    Wbody store sells PCM trays too, but it would probably be better to get it away from the high temps of the turbo.

    You could try a turbo blanket.

    The pcm tray is a little bulky for my setup, its a great solution tho. Before this i just stuck the pcm to the flatspot with some spray foam insulation. Im going to use a combination of what you guys said and extend the wires mounting the pcm verticaly on the inner frame/ fender. Itll involve moving some air con pipe over, then maybe a sheet metal heat shield, heat wrap, and a couple screws. Thanks guys!

    I was unable to use the stock location due to the Turbo when mounted literally sat on top of the wires. I placed the PCM between the front bumper and fender. There are pics in my build thread.
