    Realoem shows 2ea for the coil pack plates.

        As the others mentioned they only come with 2. I added them to all, it's my little secret. ;)

            Without them, I had break up issues at high rpms with boost. so yes, grounding.

            Status: HG repair. 488wtq though!

              How much boost are you running?

              Mine hasn't been running long, but there's not much time to look at gauges when I mash the pedal. I'm right about 9-9.5 psi.

              Though, there are things I'm doing wrong, that I know I'm doing, that I just don't have the time to fix right now.

                            Should be 17111709347, that is the m42 bracket and works with mishimoto's as well. Doesn't get your radiator really tight against the support though, so beware if you need the space.
