I found a great place to mount this thing, right on the driver strut tower, behind the ECU. I had some spare aluminum plate, and some aluminum L angle, and made a good heat sink for it. Now the heat sink i made is pretty much overkill for this module, but I had the metal, and wanted to be sure it stayed as cool as possible. I also used Heat Sink compound between the module and aluminum, and also between all the "fins" and mounting plate. Mounted the heat sink to the body with a few self tapping screws. Here are a few pics..





Here it is with ECU installed, and all wiring done:

nice pict MAtt...that was my thought as well....Where did you get the heat sink?

In my garage :) Haha, but really, all it is a piece of 1/8" thick aluminum, about 3x3.5 inches, and some aluminum L angle found at Home depot in 4ft lengths(.75x.5 inch, 1/16 thick). I just put one piece of L anlge on top of the other, to make the "fins". Then drilled 2 holes for each fin, and used machine bolts/nuts to hold them on. Used machine bolts/nuts again to hold on the Transistor module. I used heat sink compound on the back of the trans module, and between the L angle pieces. Used 2 self tapping screws to hold it to the strut tower. Hmm thats it!

But it is almost overkill for this module though. This sucker doesnt even get barely warm at idle haha..
