Relocate the PCM to wherever you like, and tie it down. It's waterproof. Relocate the charcoal canister to wherever it makes sense, and keep it active.

what dose the charcole canister even do and how dose it work?

[willwren]

It extracts fuel vapors from the upper half of the engine and purges it back to the tank. It doesn't hurt performance in any way.

Here's some pics of mine. The pcm is up front and canister is out of the hole, allowing the filter to go in there.

Thanks, Barry. My pics don't have a PCM in that location, so my canister is farther forward. Perfect example for him right there.

Really pretty simple. I've heard some say they had to take fender filler off....I didn't. I was able to work filter into hole. Couple of plastic ties and it was ready to go. It is an Intense FWI. Most on the forum believe it is the best way to go if you are going to do a FWI. Here's pic of finished project.

Do u think this fwi will be the same on my 93 bonneville sse supercharged yes or no.

[willwren]

No. I've already explained that in your other topic.

You don't have a PCM in that location, you will have to relocate your Charcoal Canister, and your throttle body is too small for a typical INTENSE kit. Please continue ask your questions in YOUR topic. Your application is different than the one being discussed here.

In addition, please make an effort to fully type your responses. This Forum isn't a texting paradise. Punctuation would be a big help too.

next pay im thinging of makeing a fwi aswell as picking up a autoforce meter or what ever there called....would that be good for now....i will have about 35$ to play with and cant do any internale work where i only get 1 day off a week and need my car for going back and forth to work

You need to do more research before you 'make' a FWI. Theres' more to it than you might think, and if you do it wrong, it'll hurt performance, not gain any.
