Tom: The weak link is the 1.8t coil pack's ability to handle heat. For normal driving, with some short
duration boost periods, they are fine even at RS2 levels. For tracking, and sustained periods of boost and higher engine temperatures, they will die quickly (Marc Swanson will attest to that). They are a
reasonably priced solution to full replacement of both OE POS units and five OE coils. They are not
an improvement over the OE system. 034's HO coil system is an improvement.
A few of us including Chris Chambers here are working on applying LS2 (Delphi D514A or D585)
coils to UrS duty. These coils can be purchased new at around $20 each (connectors about $10 each)
so there is a good potential for lots of bang for the buck. Time will tell whether they are an
improvement.
In the meantime, enjoy (but keep a spare prepped 1.8t coil pack in the trunk).
Dave F.
