How the hell do you get the ECU back behind the trim?

The new ECU is much bigger than the original one...is there some magic way of doing it that i don't know about?

Totally gut the area behind the kick panel, rip out any clips or ties, there was a bit of wood on mine too, and it will just about go in

Get Lee Mitchell to do it, he is the only person I have ever seen who has managed to get the bloody thing to fit behind the kick pannel

You don't have to teach granny to suck eggs...there are no brackets on the Xe ECU, its just too freaking big.

THink i'll go for wedging it up behind the fuse board.

Cheers guys

you can cut the mounting bits off the side of the ecu, should make it about an inch smaller
