Default Light speed (or other eMag) installation?

I am working on too many things behind the panel, but realized I need to find a good spot to mount my Lightspeed box.

Welcoming any good ideas and pics you can share. Also they supply the connector with both plugs wired. Not an easy task to put thru the firewall if mounted on cool side.

Thanks for the input everyone!!

Default

I just mounted my EI box to the back of the stainless recess panel for the oil filter. I have reflective material on the engine side that keeps the heat down.
