Did some Remodeling!

Didn't get a response in "beneath the Bonnet," so I'm trying here.

Well, I have an HAI and I decided to take out a few un needed things. I slid the ECU out of the stock air box housing and just zip tied it (the ECU) where it was before. Right next to the fuse box. It that ok? Was it in the air box housing for a reason, or just to clean things up a bit?

Thanks,
William

ECU is OK to be anywhere, as long as it stays dry.

I'd probably put it back in the case it was in. It will stay dry and nothing can touch it.
