compu-fire

No u don't, I don't have one on mine & it's been going for 6 years now.

oops sorry what I meant to say/ask is do sbugs have a "resistance wire" in the loom,I'm not sure as I don't have a manual to check the scramatic diagram.does anybody know or have manual to check for me please.

I've been bugging any body possible about this as well - no one seems to have had any problems running GT40s, standard coils etc - the only thing I can come up with is that most people seem to agree that German / genuine plug leads give the least problems. I can't find anyone who has actually fitted a ballast resistor. Some with compufire ignitions have had troubles with silicone leads - but no probs with stock. I've gone back to stock leads and will soon fit compufire. After that will replace stock coil with GT40. See what happens from there......:o

I run the trick coloured leads that are "copper cored" cause somebody had mention that(silicon leads) as well.

I also run a standard GT40 coil & top gun leads from Autobahn & have done so for many years.

hey jakriz, do you know if there is a resistance wire in the loom on a sbug?...it just that this COMPU FIRE kit has in the instructions "that a suitable BALLAST RESISTOR must be installed between the ignition switch and coil"
I 'd hate to fry the new module thats all
ROB

anybody put theirs in yet🙁

Haven't fitted mine yet, but try this

I can only pressume that it does Rob as I have never put one in.

thanks mate,I might just leave it till I get my heads retension and that way it can be timed properly(by GOLD COAST VW REPAIRS).

I've fitted mine in the 60 KG & the car runs a treat.

Seems to have smoother pick-up & a little more zip.

Don't know about the ballast resistor, I just closed my eyes & turned the key..

thanks Brad!
