All that's needed is to get rid of 2 major shortcomings seen in most of the setups...but I see it used over and over again... Which is nice,it makes my job so much easier.

Ah standalone. I've been hoping to avoid that, but it certainly solves the ignition issue. And $40 is a very reasonable price.
How are they working compared to the stock distributor setup? Are you running bigger plug gaps?

Its just a set of used EVO coils ($40), I made the bracket, and a set of Magnacor wires... I have a Link standalone and it uses a duel channel igniter obviously. When I go coil on plug I will need one of the Performance Developments sync cam.

Joe: So you have a plan to run 30PSI? Wow. I hope you have all the proper hardward in place, let alone an "expert" tuner. Can you let us in more on the details?

But if I raise fuel pressure to 6 bar at idle then my injectors should be something like 950cc-s so that should be enought to run even 37 psi. Of course I need to change that stock head gasket first. But since I need to sort out cam probem first (I have surge on full load on 4 th gear) no point really to raise boost. But i will try 40 psi in spring with new cam, new map sensor, new headgasket and more proper tuning.

...But,seriously,if you'd found the Holy Grail,would you tell all about it..? I'm trying to make a living out of this...and besides,nobody here listens to me anyway,so I'll just kick out some teasers now and then until the project car is done... But then nobody will belive the dyno,I guess...
