    Nice MINI

    Clean the terminals on the oem coil pack, put some dielectric silicone on them & re-install it. Then sell the Screamin Demon one on NAM. They are known to cause ecu problems.

    OEM only all the other cook ECU's. You only noticed and improvement because you replaced and old weak coil with a new one. Better idea is to put a new OEM coil back on.
    The RED MSD coils and Screamin Demon are the worst and the OEM coil is a whole lots cheaper than a ECU.

    Thanks for the advice, Crashton. I did notice an immediate improvement in mileage and throttle response over the OEM unit. Is there another coil I should be looking for?
