Here's the update on the CDI ignition. Pretty interesting and not as expensive as I originally thought, but maybe I was talking to the wrong people. So for all of you who have wasted spark and an ECU, here is something to consider.

Anyway, the 964 dual distributor arrived as promised, but it did not fit because of the intercooler pipe. This way would have cost me about $1700 for the plug wires, dist, cap, rotor, 2 CDI's and 2 coils. So I called JB Racing about their single 12 pole cap and they said they could make one up just how I needed (no advance/locked down, hall effect sensor mount, 24-1 tooth reluctor) for same price as one off the shelf (this is a deal because of the extra work required). This also means I could eliminate the cam and crank position sensors and use one of them in the distributor (keep it simple = good).

In the mean time, Neil called Bosch (on his own) and found out that the coils I am currently using for wasted spark can be rewired and used with a 6 channel M&W CDI and my ECU to provide sequential spark with CDI. This also means that I can use my existing plug wires too. The end result? Buy one 6 channel M&W and use everything else I currently own. Total cost - about $900. Neil's solution means I buy a lot less from him (coils, wires and 2 CDI's), but we are both satisfied.

Very cool....
