Fully plumber in. 1 for the engine bay and one for the.cabin. mounted behind the seats.

Can't remember the size, but go for the biggest you can fit in.

Also, foam is easier to clean than powder in the event of a misfire...

The bottle for my plumbed system is under the dash, passenger side.

That's a excellent idea and ideal place for an extinguisher. Doesn't use space. Can passenger knees hit it or not? I agree that foam is better than powder. I'm thinking of using Lifeline products.

Mine is in the passenger side luggage pod. It keeps the weight low down and offsets the weight a bit (I also have the compressor for the pneumatic shifter in there as well.

It is no lower than the bottom of the dash so passenger would not be aware it is there.
