Hey guys,
Just planning the route I want to go with my standalone here. Wondering what you guys recommend going with for a streetable ignition setup. Horsepower goal for the car is currently 400rwhp - but in the future who knows. Would you guys go with wiring up the TII coils, or would you go the more expensive route with the bosch coils and X4 box?

Curious as well about the MAP sensor, was originally thinking about going with the 3 bar map sensor upgrade, but am concerned about the possibility of it failing and being SOL. Would a GM 3 Bar external MAP sensor possibaly be a better route? Open to suggestions just wondering what you guys recommend for a solid reliable street setup.

Thanks
Dan

I recently did mine and I'm still tuning and working with it, but I think with the age of the car and the all the conditions the old harness went through that this was about the smartest way I could have gone. My car is streetable, and the more I work with the microtech, the more drivable the car becomes. I went with the 4 individual coils but from what I understand, either way with the coil setup is fine. The stock coils are cheaper because you wire them straight in and don't need another box to purchase to drive them and you don't need to buy new coils. I didn't use the bosch coils, I used the MSD 8207's and made a plate for them to mount too that looks cool and shiney. Very functional and it takes up the blank spot by the drivers side of the plenum. A worthwhile investment, my two cents worth.

Stick with the factory coil packs. They work alot better then the bosch crap.

Ideal setup is X4 box + 4 mazda trailing coil packs(strip the ignitor off them and dont use leading coilpacks).
