    Now that you've been running a couple weeks on the 2.0 coils, do you notice any more of a difference than the initial one?

    People looking to benefit most from this are large turbo, high boost vehicles.

    I'm tired of running an .026 to .028 gap on a 62mm turbo. If I can just run .032 I'd be very happy. I'm not too keen on the whole GM LS2 conversion, lotta work.

    This might be my birthday present for myself.

    Yep, as discussed in the thread I linked to, the ability to run this with a BT set up causes less fouling and a much better idle, let us know how it goes!

    When we first fired up the badboy after installing the coils i kinda sorta forgot to plug one in

    and it was missing pre hard and the light came on. then figured it out and tried it again and everything was smoooooooooooooth.

    so i just assume its from that and it hasnt been reset yet.

    Getting a nice set of pictures for a DIY and providing all the info in a short sweet post was the main reason.
