    Wasted spark

    So I am in the process of collecting part for my turbo build and im thinking about going to wasted spark .
    I will go with megasquirt for the management .

    i have read a lot here and there on the web but I still have some questions .

    it seem that the Bosch coil (pn0221503002) is a fairly common option use in the community. I will buy this.

    i also know that the plug wire can be reuse ( just swap the orientation and voila)


    question is , which connector should I use to wire up Bosch coil pack?

    and which connector to plug into the megasquirt?

    thanks
    * no need to know how to wire it.

    Looking at pictures of that unit online, it appears to be a 4-pin Bosch Mini-Timer style connector. You can probably find the spec for the connector on Bosch's website (either specifically for that coil pack P/N or in their catalog of connectors) as well as looking on DigiKey or Mouser to see if it's available. The Megasquirt connector will just have flying leads on it so you'll want to wire it to the connector directly. I would suggest reusing the power source for the original coil pack. Remember the MS is ground switching so the +12V should always be connected to one of the pins on the coil pack and that if this coil pack does not include internal igniters you'll need to add them to MS unit.
