In the glove box on the top part behind a plastic cover.

Yep...open the glove box and unscrew the phillips head screws across the top. You don't have to do them all, just four of them IIRC. You'll be able to drop the cover and get to the DME/ECU. It's bolted to a bracket up in there.

Alright thanks guys alot

and do you guys know if its a 175 socket?

I'm not sure what that is. I'm pretty sure our ECU/DME is the Bosch 175. Don't replace the DME for kicks, it's usually not the problem in my experiences. Unless you're chipping it...then full speed ahead!
