Hello all, I got a Frontline Fab COP plate for Christmas and decided to install it on the car. However, I'm having sever breakup when under any boost. As you can see in the pictures, this specific plate has the coils bolt underneath which makes you trim a significant amount of rubber off. I don't know if I trimmed too much or too little or what the hell is going on.
One weird thing about this plate is it really squished the #4 coil onto the valve cover causing so much binding that I had to remove material off the valve cover and the coil just to get the setup to fit. I wound up adding some liquid electrical tape at that spot to see if maybe the coil was grounding out there. Nothing has worked to any degree.
There doesn't appear to be any arcing on spark plug ceramic and I added dielectric grease there. I'm certain I have it wired correctly. All joints were done with solder and are very secure. I know that's not optimal but I would imagine it would be good enough to work. I also am using a Dynatek ARC-2 that has worked great with my stock ignition. Any ideas?
