sounds good though, have you ran it much more? i'd like to know some of the timing basics. tom

We have a lot ice and snow behind the shop so I haven't driven it. Its nearly the same configuration that we ran last year on the Black Opel on the salt so I would not see any issues with the install. The only difference is the Black Opel used the EDIS coil pack instead of the COP coils - the result is the same.

I actually loaded the Black Opel tune up file to get the ignition parameters ( just quicker) then overwrote the Opel's fuel and spark table with my own from the stock turbo motor.

With the EDIS system the engine cranks a lot longer before it fires, I was surprised how fast it fired up!
