Does that mean you might not produce any spark kits for sale at all. I am sure that if you can deliver a ws kit for under 500 you will sell more then imagined.

WS for the sake of WS doesn't seem to represent much of an upgrade for most who run less than ~18psi and those who have invested in the PB to fine tune the fueling at higher boost levels will certainly want to adjust ignition timing as well.
-> I don't see the WS kit without the ignition module attracting a lot of buyers, even if it costs less than $500.

So basically the WS should necessarily come with the ignition module, all for less than $500

18month bump,lol....im still interested in this,as im pretty sure you dont support the 1st ever wasted spark kit you sold.I will also probably need to buy a new piggy back since that is also outdated (black smt6). Any possibility on this?Also purchased another 951 that has a vitesse maf,will post a thread on that as soon as i have most of the issues ironed out.tia

I've never heard of John failing to support ANY product that he has ever sold to the original owner, and more often than not, to the new owner of a car that is already running his equipment. Send him a pm. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

The first WS was built 6-7 years ago. Make sure you get ALL the components. I'm not sure what sort of support you want, it's a simple connection. Connect and drive.

If the Black PiggyBack is not damaged and is functional, I see no reason to change it.

If you need any assistance, drop me a email.

after headaches contacting original buyers and previous owners, john has helped me wire up the first ever built wasted spark system built more than 8yrs ago. Although the harness was modified, he was able to help me with the wiring diagram, and the unit fired right up (of course after 30mins figuring out the firing order). A big thanks again to John at Vitesse's for his awesome products and support!

Are you running at really high boost or high C/R or something? Or just wanting to try it out?

i initially bought the unit for my track car but decided to try it on my daily driver. very smooth in the upper RPMs, i used to get a little sputter up top with new cap and rotor. great kit and service

Its looks like a great kit thats for sure . I look forward to running it together with high boost and E85 were i had both spark and fueling issues last year... Both issues has been taken care of with the WS and a new upgraded Fuelpump..

Congratulations for getting her running. It was a pleasure assisting you. It's refreshing to work with someone with the "right" attitude. After seeing the pictures of the old wiring, I was a bit nervous. You pulled it off, good job.
It's hard to believe how the time flies. I remember trying the WS for the first time 8+ years ago, glad to see the first one still alive and kicking.
