Question okay..Snow variable controller..placement??

i am mounting the pump and canister in the trunk (spare tire location). where would you guys mount the controller? the way i see it if you mount it in the engine bay you have to deal with running the wires into the car (especially with me mounting the pump in the rear of the car) or either if you mount the box inside the care you have to deal with running the boost line into the car. Or... would you run the wires parallel with the gas lines underneath the car??? and of course the meth line would come up the same (opposite) direction to the the engine. thanks!

I helped my friend with his and we disassembled the small box with the led's and switches/dial and mounted them in a custom panel in front of the shifter. If I remember correctly there is an led that tells you the kit is getting power and another led that tells you if the fluid level is low. I thought it is something you would want to keep an eye on while driving.

The map sensor and hoses were under the hood. The large controller/box we put under the dash. The small led's and dial in front of the shifter. The resevoir replaced the factory windshield washer resevoir.

It isn't very hard to run wires through the firewall. If your set on putting it in the trunk I would run the wires through the interior. I don't like wiring running the full length of the car exposed to the elements and road debris.
