@Clint111 - no one in FTO Australia was ready for it.. so far the only person I know here who use something similar is Bennoz (using 3 Bosch Coils though)

I dont think it has any side effects on N/A cars as Im also using a similar setup on my SOHC 4G93 (CE Lancer Coupe '01)

I didnt feel any performance difference, acceleration is just the same, but couple of things that come out of it was, no shudder when I take off from the lights or when i change to higher gear while on low rev.. also better economy..

@Astron_Boy - if I was there, you probably had a kit on your car already or another member..

at the moment I have suspended production of this kit due to limit days off (I used to get 4 days off) and Im concentrating on my new job

Wan't a stronger spark for fark all? Change to copper plugs. Will give ya better results than 3 more coils.

Don't see any ready for this as all plugs I've changed don't have symptoms of a blow out.

As usual don't believe everything you read on the Internet, especially when it provides absolutely no evidence for it's claims. :D

I run copper plugs in my mini & at 11.5:1 comp ratio, they work a treat. In my FTO, I was getting blow out at anything over 12 pound boost, no matter what plug we used (cooper included) Wacked Bosch HEC716s in, problem gone. Funny thing is, they're a mid strength coil pack, the top of the line ones aint as good!
