Default Turbosmart E-Boost Controller Location Ideas?

I stepped up to a turbo and have no idea where to mount this:



It's 2 5/8" and I have a Camaro, so the AC vent won't work for me and it won't fit in my gauge pods. Any ideas or examples of where to put this thing in a Camaro?

What about pulling one of the vents and make a fill panel out of a piece of scrap plastic?

I thought about it, but I don't know if that will work out/fit.

Would it fit in the pocket of your center console in front of the shifter?

I know its kinda differnt but you could try to fab something up so it fits in your ashtray, so if ya dont want people to see it just close the lid.
