what is/are the electronics on the timing belt cover? I do believe it is the passenger side.
I broke the Tbelt covers taking them off (rage moment) so i would like to know what the system is so i can remount it somewhere without the covers.

It's the PTU (Power Transistor Unit) and with some careful finagling you can relocate it under the nose panel or tuck it some place within reach.

I relocated mine into my nose panel area, next to the air filter.
