Default Where is the Fiesta's ECU?

I've been toying with the idea of getting one of those "piggyback" devices that alter the ECU signals without actually opening the computer (not one of those crap "resistor in a plastic box" things that pop up on eBay all the time).

You'll probably all tell me not to waste my money, but I'd just like to know how accessible the ECU or IAT sensor is so I can make a more informed decision instead of just taking the plunge. It's called research!

Thanks in advance.
