how could you misinstall it? It comes with the harness and it only plugs in one way!
I've got it on my car...figured it couldn't hurt anything given the rpms I run. It's

I like that boost-a-spark unit that only activates under boost. I didn't really investigate alternatives to the HKS, but I certainly will now. No PNP harness for the boost-a-spark .

You can wire everything in at the ECU though, so you a PNP harness really isn't that necesarry. I would think anytime you raise the input voltage to the coil and change the spark duration you will shorten the life of the coil.

I talked to Jeremy a while ago about adding one of these to my NA build. He said the ignition was one of the strongest points of the VQ and advised me not to bother with it. I figure that if a Tuner has the option to sell you something, and recommends that you don't get it, that means that you really don't need it.
Maybe it would be different for FI.
