I mounted my ecu in the passenger footwell, to the downwards sloping "ceiling" above the passenger's shins. There is a possibility that the passenger can kick the ecu or the cable connector, but a protective plate can be mounted over it. Cables can be fed through the removable panel (I made a new panel to keep the original) where the steering column would have gone through.

Mount it in a way that makes it easily removable, and easy to plug the cable in that goes to your tuning pc.
