Questions about ignition

Hey guys,

I had asked this question in the performance section but got no response so maybe i can find out from you guys.
I have a s4 T2...stock block, turbo, and ecu. Mods are TB, TID, RB 3" dp w/ hks single side 3" from dp, 680cc secondarys, FCD, 3rd gen fuel pump, FPR, and pump has been rewired. Im running about 9-13lbs of boost and running rich.
My questions are i have a MSD DIS-2 module, will i see/feel a significant increase if i install it? Is there anything else needed to install it, will it hurt anything, will i need to switch plugs if so what type. Or is the stock setup good enough for what i have and hold off installing for when i do build the motor up with all the bells and whistles. Thnx guys.
edit: My dyno results from yesterday 215rwhp 198torque and my a/f was mid to low 11s all the way. I'll try to get a pic of it or scan the print out in.

i know CDI emissions raise gas milege on 7's somewhat... and improved throttle response but not to sure if it adds a buttload of power

The DIS-2 is overkill for your car.&nbsp The MSD 6A or Digital-6 is a better match (for the leadings).

By overkill you mean too much juice?? Its new and i got for free so i would hate not to use it. Plus when i do my rebuild it will already be in place and thats one less thing to worry about. I guess i can hold off putting it on for now until im ready for it. Thnx.

Nah, overkill in that it's a 2 channel unit.&nbsp You can use them on your trailings, but you really need to do the leadings first.&nbsp A single channel unit is fine for the leadings.&nbsp I would dump that to someone who really needs it, and buy a 6A or a Crane HI-6.&nbsp You'd probably make some money in the process, since the 6A or HI-6 sells for a little over $100.&nbsp That DIS-2 is worth over $300 brand new!
