Running on 3 cylinders means better gas mileage doesn't it?
The 4th coil is currently sitting on my desk. I was using it last night to label all my wires on my pigtails. I also will be taking it up to the hardware store to get some more things to mount it. I only had 3 threaded rods at the time so that meant only 3 went on. I am planning on building some sort of device that will thread through the other 4 holes and holes and hold the backs together.
The real test will come if this mount actually holds up once the car is running. I tried mounting them where stock coils would go, but with the VVT line back there and the coolant temp sensor placement of all 4 was nearly impossible.

Will do. After doing some more searching last night in the MS documentation I am 99% sure I have it correct.
I am going to the hardware store this afternoon to pic up some more parts to finish my brackets. I will hopefully get the actual pigtails wired in tomorrow morning and give them a try.

Stop cluttering my thread with legit good looking things. I get sad I am not that good at fabbing things. Although I am not sure how well those cops would work on the VVT valve cover.
I think I have just about finished my bracket. Now just to actually wire in the pigtails tomorrow morning and test the new coils
On the plus side. Tial has finished re-machining my exhaust housing. Now I just need to ATP to finish exchanging my CHRA, then my turbo can be safety wired and I can get my car back on the road.

I am planning on ordering custom made wires from magnacore with correct lengths once I have everything working. I could care less what my wires look like right now.
