thats true. i had ran my car without the duratec cover and it didnt help at all. i even put a think cloth rag under the box it didnt help either. ithink relocation may be the best way. i would do mine right now but its way to hot. ill have to wait till night time. im thinking of mounting it under the battery tray or under the filter.

Does that count?
OK, but what other mods have you made to diminish the need for the IMRC?
That is a great response though.
Man I don't have all day to type that out... 
I will agree that I do not recommend removing it to 99% of the people out there.
I will also agree that you CAN NOT just remove the IMRC. THE PCM will not like it AT ALL! (Severe limp mode)
Even turning it off in the PCM (if the tuner can actually do it) still IS NOT the proper way to do it. That leaves you with a very weak spark curve no matter what you program it for.
The PCM overrides all the spark & fuel tables with the IMRC off, bypassed, or disconnected. Stock, chipped, flashed, everything!
Tuning by dyno is one thing but without datalogging as well it is just a very small part of the equation. Datalogging is EVERYTHING since it shows the actual PCM changes. Otherwise you could be thinking you are changing timing curves, scalars, tables, et cetera when really you are changing nothing because the PCM is overriding it or just not accepting the changes.
The IMRC is a perfect example! I know from experience... 
Moving it however is a good idea.
You all know I have always harped it dies from heat. Ever since mine did the same thing at only about 10k miles. (4 years ago)
Intermittent failure that was heat and rpm dependant. MAJOR PITA to diagnose!!!
My fix was to remove the heat catcher and mount it on 1" rubber spacers. (they also acted as vibration dampeners)
It never gave me any trouble after that during normal use.
The only concern about moving it is to keep the cable as straight as possible. Cable bind will burn up the motor, the PC board, and cause slow and sticky IMRC operation.

It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

In it's new position my IMRC cable has a more progressive bend than it does in the factory position. This was one of my main considerations when moving it.

Both of those posts are actually me. I haven't been on the board in a while and didn't remember my old username so I created a new one. One of my old ones had been banned from posting so I was testing out the other old name. Wouldn't it be funny if I got banned again for starting a flame war with myself?!!!!

You obviously never saw "The Rock" when he was in the WWF.
It was his favorite insult to other wrestlers.

Glenn,
Where is the transistor you replaced? Sounds a lot better than a new IMRC...

It's on the hidden side of the PCB. It's a bit tricky to get to as you have to desolder the pins for the main connector to get the PCB out. If you are ok with a soldering iron then it shouldn't be a problem. I don't have a pic of the PCB unfortunately but here is a pic of a similar transistor..
