What do you guys think about using VW 1.8T Coils?
My toyota COPS are messing up in the cold, so I need new ones. I found some VW 1.8t cops for cheap, and they are new. Anyone see any problems with them? I found this info
Pin 1: Connects to Pin 1 on all other coils and then to +12v from engine control relay (or fuel pump relay).
Pin 2: Signal ground
Pin 3: Signal from ECU (0, +5v)
Pin 4: Power ground (Chassis)
so would pin 3 be the tach?
I found this too!
VW Coils with MEGASQUIRT
so bacially, what would I have to modify on my harness for the toyota cops?

The 06B 905 115R coils were a problem. I found a set of the 06B 905 115L's, which are the updated ones, and they are new, and I can get a smokin deal.

As said above, unless you go aftermarket (BERU) you are still going to be burning coils out at completely random intervals. Being from a VW background this is entirely true and witnessed by myself multiple times.
There is a reason 1.8T guys run around with spare coils in their glove box. Because they NEVER know when one can die. could be 10k miles or less, sometimes they last for 40k. Rarely more.

Yeah, the BMW coils in that Ebay link are for the M50 six-cylinder. They are a POS part, renowned for burning out. There's a "why does my car run sorta crappy" thread with like 1400 posts in it on Bimmerforums. Coils are one of the more common fixes, but weren't it for me.
