Default while the transmission is out

So since my transmission is out and the car is at my work Ihave been taking time to clean up all the wires under the hood wire lume and tech flex the pcm and moved the engine harness away from the waste gate. And also doing something outside of the box with the alki control I made a box with a prime button and led status under the hood and I will be also making something similar for the dash also there will be a prime button inside so whend I'm about to race someone I can hit the prime and watch the wideband to be sure it's working here is some pictures

I had a k&n before I turbocharged the car so I am using the pcm tray for that and I made a 1/4 piece of black plexiglass and milled two holes in the middle of it to mount to the inner fender tapped the 4 holes the plexi for the tcu to mount to I'll post pictures of it tomorrow. No offense Park Ave but I don't believe in mounting anything with zip ties but I'm pretty **** I don't use but connector or taps for anything either only soldier but to each is own

Both ways sound cool the way I have it mounted now has to change for sure it's causing the CPU to throw codes because it's unstable

Ive heard of some people have had issues with having seal leaks within 1k of installation due to not getting it centered or torquing incorrectly etc etc
