I fitted an ally subframe to by 996S bip. It was an ally sub frame for P8 (bigger with 3 mounting points) computer, mine having a 1.6M computer (smaller with 4 mounting points).

So if you've got the same setup, you should be able to move the current wiring loom about 1" without affecting the routing. I found this was just enough to mount the computer on the 2 cross rails in the center of the ally subframe.

I put a large piece of foam underneath the computer and used zip ties through the bolt holes and round the cross rails. The cross rails also wrapped in foam. I made sure this was the last thing fitted. Now it's not ideal but it does the job and I've had no probs with it.

The main problem with moving the bip wiring loom is the 2 wires that go to the fans. They are just not long enough.

If you've got the R/SPS ally sub frame with the 4 mounting points right at the back of the subframe then I'm not sure if the computer will mount in the centre across the 2 cross rails.

Hope this is of some help
