Chris
How did you handle mounting the coils to the firewall. Got any pictures?

Ran a 1.8t coil conversion for ~ 12 months, went through 4 coils.
Built my own harness and switched over to LS2 coils, it's been over a year
now and I have not had any failures.

BUT

Before anyone goes this route check with Mr. Swanson of TTV8 coupe fame as 
there are
some ECU/chipsets that evidently do not like the LS2 coils, I think he is 
working on a fix.


Chris
quite happy with my LS2 system

Tony,

The #4 position
