LC1 Controller location

I'm about to install the Innovate LC1 WB. I know a lot of ppl recommend putting the O2 sensor on the left (9 o'clock position - when looking from driver's perspective) of the Downpipe.
But from looking at the length of the O2 sensor wire, it seems like i will need to stuck the LC1 controller under my car.

What would be a better place to weld the O2 bung or pass the wire if I want to keep the controller inside my car?

This is mainly a precaution against future lowering and massive snow storm in Montreal

Thanks!

I mounted my controller under my glove-box and ran the cables through the grommet above it into the engine bay...

The from there I ran the wires behind my center console and mounted the display to the left of the dash...

That one way im thinking of doing.
That would also need a bung at 3Oclock position right? or some what around there

Correct,

I had a lot of slack left over from mounting it on my DP and running the cable that way

I mounted mine at the 3 o' Clock postition as well. I mounted the controller under the passenger kick panel on the left hand side (part of the console past the shifter where if the passenger kicked his left foot to the left he would hit).

Like the above posters I also ran the cable through the grommet on the passenger side of the firewall and had more then enough cable that I was worried I wasn't going to be able to fit the controller and the cable in the panel, but I did.

I ran mine through the hole under the passenger seat and used the rear o2 sensor bung as well as its hole into the cabin. THen mount the controller under the seat, run wires under the center console, and you're golden
