    Hey guys, I did the $20 grommet/PVC/eBay AEM Dryflow mod. I'm happy with the outcome (light wet sand, like 1200 grit, primer, high heat black, clear on the PVC).



    Now that the air box is removed, I have an exposed ECM that is loosely hanging. What have you guys done to cover and secure it? Looking for some ideas!

    Options:

    Do nothing.

    Zip ties.

    PCM tray from S15 blazer? Unsure on source of that tray.

    Or, Let it sit there.

    It's ugly.

    I didn't even zip tie mine, gave no cares in either WBody...worked just fine.

    I was going to go the zip tie route, but it's kind of "exposed" now so I felt a little weird about it. If you guys run it without issues, then I think I'll be fine.

    I agree, it's really ugly - and my car is no show car so I don't really care.

    its 100% sealed.

    As long as its not bouncing around you'll be fine.

    Bouncing can cause wires to be broken and internal destruction.

    DESTRUCTION!
