E8 + bosch coils
Okay so I've had these 4 bosch coils laying around, I'd like to get them to work with my E8. obviously I cant just wire them directly like stock coils. I figure i need the haltech ignition module, but which one? the 3 channel one? is there any cheaper or easier way?

you could probably use the stock ignitors for the trail. For the lead you could probably use an extra set of stock trail ignitors rewired without the split function (wired as 2 seprate ignitors).

My suggestion would be get an FD igniter, easy.

One FD ignitor total, but that would fire the lead coils off the same circuit which might not be good. A normal FD or FC lead coil is a single 2 pole coil, not 2 coils within a housing. I would go for 2 FC trail ignitors, which would be 4 actual ignitors if wired right.

yeah i do NOT want waste spark, atleast not at high RPM and high boost.
