[s-cars] 1.8T coilpack coversion

[Ez Veedub]

Just to let you know, the 4 pin push in coil packs have the POS internal. 
This is what is burning out in the coils. Either way, internal or external, 
the POS always seems to burn out. IMO, I would prefer to use the 3 pin 
Hitachi, and relocate the original UrS4/S6 POS to the plenum area. This 
would keep the heat off the POS and prevent them from burning out. The 
firewall mount is just not going to cut it, especially with the turbo and 
exhaust blasting it with heat.
