[s-cars] 1.8T coilpack coversion

[Dave Forgie]

Harold:  Sorry , I thought you knew that.  When I developed the first
1.8t coil pack conversion, I briefly considered the bolt down 1.8t coil
packs. Right up until I was told they were three pin and still required
an external POS.  Since I was trying to avoid the OE POSs, I moved on to
the 4 pin coil packs. That being said, I am still going to check out the
ECS website in case they also have Hitachi 4 pin coil packs.

In retrospect, the comparison of the three pin bolt down coil packs and
refering to the Bremi 115 L's was incorrect on the Vortex site.  AFAIK,
Bremi's problems were with stick on four pin 115 H coil packs (which
were replaced by 115 Js, and Ls, and Ms, and Ns, and Rs).

Did a quick search on the 1.8T engine forum and it looks like the
"early" 
1.8T's were 3 pin the newer ones 4.
