I'm in the process of boosting my Euro S50B30 (using ASA blower).

What brand/make ignition amplifiers do you guys use?
(Oh, I'm going to be using custom made coils)

I dont think it should matter if its a Euro M3.0 or Us M3.0. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks for you input guys!!

you need amplifiers and coils after approx 150 hp/l, before that you can go smaller gap on plugs. but if you want to do it right you can go standalone and use aftermarket coils. but you will lose vanos function on euro model

Thanks Patrick. I'm looking to get 350whp when I finish my install(that's less than 150hp/L)) but I'd still like to know what ignition amplifiers are used by you BMW boosters.

We did use the AEM C2DI 8-channel, but they discontinued selling the C2DI boxes because of failures with the units. THey're supposedly coming out with a new unit, but that could be a while...
