Should've read:
 
The large black CIS-E box mounts flat, all the way on the driver's 
side of the wiper cowl, right next to the hood hooks. 

I opened the CIS-E black box, to see how the PCB was mounted, the
components face up, 
with the mounting tabs flat against the wiper cowl shelf, allowing it to
dissipate heat.
I used the spring clip from a 16V Scirocco CIS-E box/ignition modile
bracket, it clips to 
the back of the box, 2 tech screws secure it..

I put the knock box right above the CIS-E box, against the wiper 
cowl, right below the rubber seal that seals the engine compartment from 
the wiper cowl. I used aluminum standoffs, so that the harness 
wouldn't get stressed, and used the 2 mounting points.

I installed the ignition module, with a large 8V cooling plate, on 
the passenger side of the wiper cowl, similar to where the knock box is
on a 16V Scirocco.

I hope that makes more sense...
