Looks neat........

But is there any concerns with cooling the unit? Especially when the top of the stock ECU case is screwed on. I'm not too sure just how hot they get - but with no air circulating over the heat sinks - it might be cause future problems. Or maybe not.

Im not concerned with it getting too hot. Maybe someone with more microtech experience could comment on this?

I've seen a few others mounting It In the stock location with the same concerns. No reported cases of overheating has occurred though. The only reason why I never mounted It their was due to the lack of visability with LED lights. Oh well, pros and cons to everything.
