yer a wanted the aftermarket ecu to fully retune rather than use a chip when i get a supercharger kit. as for the msd price. i got it really cheap because i did pay a lot for it to begin with but 1 of the coil towers had a fault and they replaced all my ignition and gave me a full refund.

Trust me here, the factory ECU can have a full retune done. The chip is where all the data is stored, so basically getting it chipped is the same as getting a whole new ECU. Don't waste money by replacing the factory ECU.

If you need to replace your coils use supercharged v6 ones. They have been proven to be as good if not better than msd ones.

When I inquired through my local dealer, they said that something was not compatible between the L67 and L36 coils.

Really? I was under the impression they were exactly the same.

So was I, they said something about the voltage not being the same or something like that!
The guy then suggested to go stock L36 ones, when I inquired about MSD he said that every test he has ever seen has suggested that it will be a bit better than stock.

Just out of curiosity, How much did your P&P set you back?
