Might want to update the "are client's know we care" to "our clients" just a heads up if the website is new.
not hating or nothing
Yah thats what happens when you design it and a idiot types it up. thats only my first rev, rev two is soon to come

If there is space, it is on the underside of the IMRC with the board on top of it. You won't be very effective trying to get heat out of there I'm afraid.
I just don't get why Ford would put an electronic component like that in a box on top of a valve cover... then cover it with a chunk of heat catching plastic.  Plenty of cooler places to put it, & even under the battery or air box it would be out of sight too.
The kit sounds like a good idea for most as it will help to prevent premature failure. An ounce of prevention...
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

This is exactly why a relocation kit is preferable to trying to desolder and resolder a transistor that you don't have. Preventive maintenance is preferable.

You people aren't understanding that the transistor that was originally put in the IMRC was faulty (tolerence issues). The newer TIP121 is a MUCH better replacement if you compare the two spec sheets. Yes, it can handle the underhood temps.
Additionally, relocating the IMRC just delays the heat issue. If your IMRC is failing now due to heat, relocating it might give you 15-30 minutes more of operation before it heats back up and stops working.
If you relocate it, you still have a faulty transistor.
Oh, and in case you are new here, ask around. I know a thing or two about the Contour and its electronics.

Who's in? Maybe this would be a group buy?

New... hehe.
I understand just fine. My IMRC is NOT faulty, so I will relocate it to prevent premature failure and/or prolong its life. GET IT??
You aren't suggesting people rip open their perfectly fine & functioning IMRC box just to replace this transistor, are you? The time to rip appart the IMRC to replace the thingy is AFTER the failure and BEFORE investing in a replacement IMRC. GET IT?
GOT IT?
GOOD!

I thought this was an imrc relocation kit GB, not a transistor GB? Maybe you should start a new thread about it.
