   you will obviously have to extend all the cables to them. if you look up behind under the passenger foot well there is enough space for it all to fit maybe with a bracket or even on to the bulkhead.
   
   could possibly put the ecu under the passenger chair?

   such long extions of the cables will cause incorect sensor redings just put some nice stainless covers on

    dont listen to the muppet up at the top you CAN stick the ecu and fusebox inside the car under the dash in the passenger side tends to be the best place to put it, you can also remove a fair few of the wires from the loom by doing this as your not needing to run them from the inside fuse box to fogs for instance, have a seach mate been done a few times
