1. The MSD inverter draws a fair amount of current which can result
in an input voltage less the desirable if an improper gauge wire is used.
2. The long run of the coil switching voltage (+450) can interfere
with the trigger signal, tach wire or other electronics, e.g. voltage
regulators.

Agreed about "LONG Wires"! My Longest is no longer than the longest Violet & (I do not remember other color) but it was in a Separate casing with 2 prong connectors at each end. From Actually reading the instructions I "Still" went 1 size larger in wire for the 18 inches I had to extend the other 4 wires. The Large Red and Black wires were not extended at all. SO I really only needed to extend 4 wires and no longer than 2 of the existing wires.
Second about Water and the Low point! Yes, when they do leak, the rear seat floor pan is where some of the water collects. Remember, I used the anti vibration mounts that are somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4" High and the Carpet and rear mat was cut out to fit around these mounts and I am extending the height another 3/8" above that to give a good space between the carpet and the Unit for AIr FLow.
There are drain holes in the rear floor that I have plugged most of them with the Plastic Plugs except 1. I would think that If I had a Severe leak or left the window down that between the drain Hole and the absorption of the carpet, I would HOPE that the water level would not raise above 1 inch! Remember mounted under the other seat there is the ECU for the O2 sensor as seen in Bob's Pic. SO if it was a REAL Bad idea then let us hope that Porsche thought it all out first and still mounted it under the seat.
