Ok guys i did a search here is my story:
Car was running fine then i noticed that it being a slug uptop. It almost felt like the opposite of V-tec if you know what i mean. Finally about a week ago it started to missfire and i found the #5 ( coil closest to the passenger side rear) coil pack was fried. I replaced the coil pack and with in an 2 hours it blew the same coil pack again. I took it back to the shop that did all the work, they thought maybe they missed wired something when they installed the J&S safegaurd. They checked it out yesterday and said they couldn't find any loose or grounded wires. What do you think could be the problem?
I've heard that some of the older J&S boxes blew coils.... but that quick? I'm going to get the # off the box and see if maybe its an old one?? I need help because the car is for sale and i need to get rid of this annyoing problem, I can't let it go with it doing this. Here are my mods:
Greddy E-01
J&S safegaurd
Fuel Return system (custom)
Greddy Twin turbo kit
Greddy Front Mount Intercooler
Greddy Type S BOV
Helix test pipes
Espelir True dual exhaust
anything at this point will help. thanks guys.

Could be an older version of the J&S. I would talk to John at J&S and see what he thinks. Coils do not blow out without reason...so it must be something in the box, or how it was wired.

anyone have a better way to get a hold of these guys? I can't get a hold of anyone at all at the number they have posted. I don't have a model number or anything on this thing... I'm stuck.
