RWEST,

All electronics have operating temperature windows both hot and cold. The engine bay temperature in an air cooled 911, given normal ambient temps, does not get over the max operating temperature of most EMS (engine stopped heat soak included) but it will obviously effect longevity over an extended amount of time (daily driver duty compounded by decades). I have worked with a couple people to record data on various air cooled 911s in different areas of the country using a K type thermocouple and I am comfortable with that mounting area.

As an additional note, all of the Maxxecu models are splash proof with the exception of the Mini and the Race H20 which are considered water "proof". Given the CDI mount area, water migration is a non issue on the non water proofed models unless you plan on power washing the ECU or go for submersion.
