    I am looking at doing this myself as the coil pack will get in the way of the future turbo and besides it looks neater, as far as brackets go they are not hard to make to suit the application however (as it is a bit further down my list yet of things to do) I have not looked into the relocation of the wiring as that I beleive would be the headache. HT Lead lengths should remain approx the same depending on where you locate the pack.

    You'll need to run longer bolts and spacers, equal in size to the thickness of the spacers

    I have mine up against the firewall on the drivers' side of the car. Doing the wiring was a bit of a headache but was well worth it.
    I need to make a better bracket up as the coils are actually rubbing on the fire wall under hard acceleration.



    Not the best images but you can see how its been done.
