I used some 1/2" thick zip ties and stuck it on the PPF next to the trans. There are little notches on the controller for the ties to hold on and not slide off. I also wrapped all my wires in some thick rubber heater hose to protect them from any debris flying under the car.
EDIT: I ran my wires through the shifter boot (I already had a rip, so what the hell?). I'm not sure if the wires are long enough for you to mount it there.

My downpipe doesnt have a bung welded so I plan to measure off 36 inches as per Innovates instructions and see where that leaves the controller. Hopefully it wont be far enough to not let me use the shelf under the break fluide reservoir.
I dont like the idea of it being under the car, and I dont want to run the plug wires through the shifter boot. The less rewiring I have to do the happier i'll be.

I thought that at first, but it really isn't that bad. On the PPF it is pretty safe, and the water doesn't splash up there that much. The plug is also has a gasket on it. I was afraid of it overheating by the down pipe under the brake master. I also like having the plug near the sensor for when I do free air calibrations.
That being said it is safer under the brake master. Just make sure to protect it from the heat and it should be fine. I really wanted it inside the cabin, but the wires weren't long enough because it wouldn't fit under the center console.
