    I just got a new intake put in my car and i was trying to decide where i want to put the pcm. I ended up just put it vertical right behing the drivers headlight and i held it there with the zip ties that came with the intake.

    1)Does anyone have any good ideas or any pics of what they did to thiers?

    2)Does the way i have mine mounted right now work fine?

    3)Does anyone make custom brackets for it so it can be securely mounted in the engine bay?

    Thanks


    Sorry bout the long post

    Mine's here....


    And held on with these. Just some bent metal and self tapping screws, but solid as a rock.



    This is way before me and the engine bay went a few rounds, so nevermind the dirt. LOL

    You should wash that thing every once in a while, there's a lot of dirt there.

    I put mine in the same location as you, vertical right behind the drivers side headlight. Mine is also being held with zip ties and I haven't had any problems with it being that way.
