It's alot easier to put it on the passenger side, due to the left side having the evaporative emissions control canister and solenoids. (from the quick glance I took).

I'm planning on putting it in a box, and I really like the look of yours, enigma. Who's the manufacturer, where did you purchase it, and how much was it?

Thats what I'd like to know too. It looks like the Moroso box I was looking at... Looks good en1gma19, you have confirmed that I am going to use the aluminum box.

I got my box with the relocation kit I ordered from here. They also sell a Moroso box that you can buy seperately. They we??a[?T ? If you call them they might be able to sell just the taylor box seperately, or if not, they can probably give you contact information for Taylor prodcuts directly.

How much does the wire weigh that you had to run to the back?

I would also put it on the driver's side to counteract the weight of the windshield wiper fluid reservoir. It weighs a good 10lbs at least.

Haha, I know I need to clean it, but I run without louvers because it gets HOT here, over 105 everyday with high humidity. I'm currently writing the how-to, and ill post it in the how-to forum, as well as a how-to for making the o2 sensor spacer for running catless. I'll crosspost here in afew minutes when I finish.

With a sealed battery, you do not need to have the battery in a box, however, you are supposed to have an externally mounted kill switch.
