Default OFAB ECU in engine bay ok?

Hi again ppl

Is it ok to place my ECU in the engine bay or must it be inside behind dash?

Don't think it'd get too hot or anything positioned where it is atm (behind headlight on wheelarch, passenger side) but what's your opinion?

Thanks

Yeah mine too but how would I get a huge hole through the bulkhead big enough to fit the connector through?

'spose I could take it out each night

Naaa j/k

Only got a relay to chuck into the loom for the fuel pump then i'm gonna fire up the beast for the first time!

Cut the loom, feed it through, and then re-join all the wires is the only way

Or remove all the pins from the ecu plug and feed through and then re-fit.
