2.0
I see some say "do not mount inside the engine compartment", mine is mounted inside the right fender well in front of the firewall, down inside the small hole that kinda goes behind your kick panel area. Further away from the engine than if mounted behind the firewall. If not mounting inside the firewall area is due to electrical noise.. Well under my dash area I have more electronic interference things, like Dakota Digital Dash, Power windows, door locks, alarm system, radio, more gauges, push button start box, A/C, power antenna, remote exhaust cutout box, multiple nitrous controls. MSD I mounted behind the driver kick panel (so its on the opposite side from the 2.0 computer), and I'm sure I'm missing a few. So my point is that its not really any better by mounting it inside if you have this going on, or at least I don't think it is. Where I have it mounted is about as far and isolated from anything else (but the unit itself), and its out of site. My engine bay is very clean, the only wires that goes from the unit to the engine is basically the wires to the TB.
I still wish FAST would have done something better to help protect this unit from electrical interference. Even though I have it running pretty good, if something happens its harder to track down. Just like the issue with launching and it going lean, I can only start guessing where to start.
As far as the XFI, someone mentioned having.. Different than the 2.0 as far as some of the issues people are having.
Again I just think it could have been protected better, but I'm happy with what I have (because its mine now). I have at least 1500-2000 miles on te unit, but everytime I drive it i'm constantly wondering if I'm going to start getting the notorious "Comm Error" from it and it shut down on me. So far I have not seen that from it since the second week of driving it, and fixing or re doing things that I thought may be the cause.
