Kent:  I am sure there alternatives to the 1.8t coil packs that can be
made to work, however from the quote "The ignition output signal is also
Bosch standard, and drives
a four-channel ignitor module sourced from a late model Audi" I suspect
they are using an early A4 1.8t POS before they went to the later design
coil packs with the built in POS.

As a matter of interest, I just came back from our dyno day at Patrick
Richard's Rocket Ralley where my 1.8t coil pack-equipped RS2'd c/w FMIC
turned 288.5 whp and 304 ft lbs. At a correction factor of 1.3 this is
375 hp with MRC software (24 psi max).

Unfortunately, it wasn't the best performing car (Sean D. has all the
details).
