well suddenly ye olde wagen has decided to do ye olde cut-out and stutter
which can be driven into a hard buck if you keep yer foot in it.  
 
happens like clockwork at 1bar, seems to run fine below that (aka wife would
never notice, I on the other hand get crazy eyes like a caged animal after
10 minutes of driving sedately). 
 
no codes pulled yet but on the agenda for tomorrow AM.
 
so expect that the painstaking 2-year old OEM coil re-wire/rebuild has
probably hit the end of its useful lifespan, longer shot could also be a
boost hose issue as I'm not sure of the age of them.   but sure seems like
classic coil death syndrome. 
 
if I need coils, is anybody doing a plug & play kit for the LS2 coils at
this point? wasn't Marc Swanson working on those? 
also any tips on explaining to wife that installing new coils also requires
RS2 manifolds/turbo/injectors etc. would be appreciated. 
 
JC
