remote coils are definitely the way to go IMO. While the A4 coils offer a nice inexpensive replacement option to the stock coils they REALLY dont like heat.

I had no problems until I ran the car with the a4 coils at Watkins Glen and the head temps generated on the track were enough to cook one of the coils (and no, I dont run the coil cover). My next set of coils will definitely be firewall mounted, the units that 034 sells are really nice high output coils.

Solder selection, flux selection, wicking, sucking, tinning and the like are all skills that need to be learned.

And things that require the proper tools and materials. Like anything else, a bad job of it can really screw up your whole day.

I would not just jump right in to a solder job if I had never touched the stuff before, and didn't have the proper tools.

Once you learn how to do it, it still may be easy - but it's time-consuming to do correctly, and there are other considerations in this project other than the soldering. Which, as he says, is the "electrical stuff." If you aren't good at figring that sort of thing out, being a pro at soldering ain't gonna do a thing for you.

Use a real iron, (25 watt for wires is fine, 15 w for boards until you get the hang of it. Forget larger. ) not a gun or that 'cold' crappy thing out there now, use a rosen core solder - a smaller diameter, and a bit of practice - and you are good to go.

Took me a couple of shots when I was 10 or 11 - but mainly because a 40 w iron was the lowest generally available back then. (mid 60's).

(Yes - I prefer a 40 watt.)
