feed off the rev counter, to a relay from battery to coil in boot. Every pulse, the relay and coil will click equalling 1 spark. Earth it on rear light cluster earth point.



our old mk3 idling with the choke half out. same setup.

cutting the ign would be the gayest thing ever, thats when your REALLY desperate to have flames.

if you cant get it just by a spark being in your tailpipe thats a properly epic fail going so far as to cut the ign.

thats where I took it from.


edit: make sure you put a switch for the feed on the dash somewhere, at 70mph I think the flames shot out about 8foot, old bill don't like that so it's handy to be able to turn it off.
