from the looks of it they both use off the shelf coils & the same M&W ignition box, spare the buschur sticker ;p.... aside from possibly the connectors & maybe mounting plate, i dont think there is much diffrence, if any


but, while Ebay parts may save you a few bucks, you dont get the customer support or warranty that you might get by going with a vendor such as buschur...

Why bother, Daves kit is $200 more and you get his support! Dave spends all that time developing the kit and you want to save $150 and go with a copy?

Cant be certian without having the coil in my hands, but i believe most people are using the coils off the chrysler 300m & i have heard of people using the ones from the Dodge Viper, though those seem to be less common

also, people have been doing the COP setup DIY style for some time now, im not shure who was the first one to put something like this together, dont think it was buschur....though im shure they'll correct me if im wrong....

not to bash buschur but to some people who live in the real hard working world, $200 is a good chunk of money. I love buschur racing products but when someone sells the exact same thing for $200 less im gonna have to go with it....unless david buschur does some dyno testing to prove his product is superior

The first coil on plug ignition for the 4G63 was actually developed at our shop by Tym S. when he was working for us. So yes, Buschur Racing was the first to offer it for the DSM and the EVO.

Also, for those of you that were at last years shootout you would have witnessed AMS struggling with their EVO. We went over to them, asked what was wrong, offered them our spare ignition and they set a new personal best. Since them not only do they use our COP they resell them.

The Ebay product is not put together correctly, if you know what you are looking at you can see it in the pictures. Will it work, probably but it is going to have problems.

You can buy ours or the poor knock off on Ebay, make your choice. We've been here doing the same thing, selling parts, developing new parts, supporting the community for 18 years now. We've always been copied and that isn't going to change, I can still hope and pray for bad things to happen to scum that does it though

Have a nice day.

david i know you have great pride in your products, but do you mind explaining to the rest of us who dont know what you are seeing that makes it not put together correctly? they do appear to be using the exact same ignition box and i think you guys also use the 300m coils? please elaborate
