Many have said it will do nothing for our cars. But I have not heard of anyone using it to give any kind of real feedback.

There is another guy here in Maui that has it on his Max but his car is also S/C. He noted that it made the car more responsive. But no real HP difference could be felt.

One of our local customers has one and he said it gave him maybe 1-2 hp, which you can't really feel, so it basically didn't do anything...

So its about as useless as those $20 Z1 Module's I keep seeing on ebay? Only you pay $500 for that HKS Twin Power thing! I'm glad I never bought one.

i have seen a few sites with different prices, is this the same unit or do you have to make sure you get the right one for the max ?

example stillens which looks the same is in the 600 dollar mark and these websites appear to have the same thing for much cheaper ?

http://www.i-m-racing.com/gredtwinpowi.html

http://www.jscspeed.com/mk4/electron...p_ignition.htm

is it a one size fits all kinda thing or not ?

oops ! ceasar here on nismos account,
I've heard that there are different type of HKS ignitions but the one on JSCSPEED will work with our cars. just tell tell it's for a V6 direct ignition with individual coils per cylinder.

This is one of my future upgrade plans.

well, it would in theory give you a more complete and powerful spark. if you are having problems with detonation, or want to run really really high octane gas, it could be an important mod.
