Default ECS Alky - controller install location??

Where is everyone installing the manual controls and LED for the ECS / Alky system? Are there any custom panels to put it in the ash tray or some other trick / clean location?

I took the ashtray apart and mounted mine in there. That way I just open the door and can adjust there.

We generally install the main PAC controller under the knee bolster, and the gain **** assembly right above the hood release. I can get to it while tuning, but it's not visible or too easily accessible. That is done because it should not need to be adjusted after tuning, and it seams everyone feels the need to adjust it afterwards.

It needs to be remembered that you are adding fuel, so just like your tune, it should not be messed with after being properly set.

Priceless!

Oh well, I guess you could still mount it somewhere cool looking and just never touch it

Mine is in the glove box on the outside of the FOB slot. LED is next to the eBoost2 in the gauge pillar pod.

My control box is under my dash (tucked away) but my LED is in that small defrost vent on the A-pillar- In-cog-nito for sure
