MsII , 3.57, 2.9 firm w. , 4 cyl. V-DUB . Im doing homework :RTFM: befor I start converting to wasted spark coil pack. Im going to use a coil pack from a 2000 jetta, as it has the coil drivers incorp. into coil pk. module. I know I need to mod. MSII for the 2nd ign. out sig. My question is do I ...
