The P8 ecu has the required driver electronics built in to drive coilpacks already.
The problem is there are LIMITED tuners that can "switch on" the software to enable this feature.
This is typically limited to PECTEL boards but others such as MSD (Stu) have done this on board-less versions.
However, in this latter situation, your existing chip may not be able to be modded and you will probally need a different version program.
