Before you put anything in your car, make sure that you know what the part actually do to help your car.

To the point and correct, pointless is the word. Just not needed, stock system is very adequate for more power than is reasonable to run in a FWD on the street, and then some

its because MSD is just a multi spark distribution. These have been proven to be bad on turbo cars.

The MSD is no better than the OEM ones. Infact our C.O.Ps are pretty damn good when you put in the proper spark plug

Our car is made to run w/ iridium plugs and there is a reason for it. Upgrading to a MSD will just be a waste of your money. Couple of my friends have sent in their MSD to the factory for work to get done because its that bad. They have been stranded without a car numerous times with MSD.

Run Iridium spark plugs (Denso IK22/24's) and you'll be happy. Or you can also run NGK's as well. But as for MSD...no

you just dont want MSD on a turbo car....its common knowledge
