I've got a turbo 2 liter in a VW Karmann Ghia with a weber side draft. I was running dual spark plugs using an old airplane dual distributor. It ran fine for years then the distributor bit the dust. I searched this site & it looks very promising. Here are my questions I could not find answers to on the site.

Can the MAP sensor handle boost? I'm looking at 10 psi max. If not, what MAP sensor would I need & how extensive would the modifications be to using it.

Since I am running dual spark plugs, I assume I would use the program for 4 cylinders, but run 4 dual coils, for a total of 8 plugs. 1 dual coil then feeds 2 plugs on the same cylinder.

Yes, the MAP sensor can read up to 250 KPa, which is about 21 PSI of boost.

For the coils- it's up to what the Ford EDIS module can handle. If you put two coils in parallel on the coil drive output of the EDIS-4 module it may not be able to handle the increased current load.

An EDIS 8 *might* work, but you would have to make sure the correct coil outputs are connected to the right spark plugs. Others here may be able to comment with more accuracy.
