Default Fuse Box Relocation question

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone has thought about relocating the fuse box to the front of the engine bay in front of the strut tower where the horn is? This probably wouldn't apply to those of you with sidewinders, but may be good for people with logs or top mounts like pfab, but don't want to put it in the fender. Anyways, I have a week off next month and I was thinking of either moving it there or maybe to the fender since I won't have anything to do. I know the fender spot is cleaner and all.... Just wondering what you guys think and if you think you would still have to extend wires in this location? Here's a pic

You will have to extend the majority of the wires to put it there.

Yeah, I wasn't sure so I was just wondering on that one. Thanks for the info! Ill probably try to put mine in the fender in a way that I can access the fuses from just moving the fender liner myself. I decided to put off my turbo ambitions until contract time in the summer so Im just going to be getting my car as ready as I can with the lower cost things like this.

^^ That's really not a bad idea

I went ahead and got all my relocation/supporting BS done well before I started the turbo install.

Just put it in the fender. I did it myself and I hate electrical and it wasn't bad at all.

Thanks for the advice everyone! Hopefully this will come in handy for someone else that may have the same idea at some point.
