What kind of ignition systems are you runnig on turbocars? M20B25/7 interests the most.
CDI? Waisted spark? Examples please.
Got everything else, exept good ignition system for atleast 500hp.

Going to run with ems Haltech E6H-8.

You´ll need a coil or coils that can handle charging up enough energy to cross the spark gap.
a CDI setup would definetely work but you might want to look into wasted spark.
As you can get tons of cheap coil packs.

I remember hearing that a single BMW coil will not suffice above 1.2bar boost
With great challenges comes great engineering.
