Keep msd or not??
Im currently getting my turbo kit put on my integra gsr. My friend had a full msd ignition sitting around his house, and he sold it to me for $200. It is the msd 6al box, pro billet distributor(not cap), external coil, and all necessary wires and papers, to complete the kit. Im only going to be boosting 6 lbs, do you guys recommend I keep it, or should I sell the kit for? I know I could get around 600 for it. What kind of difference would this kit make on my car powerwise? Anyone else ever had a gsr with this msd setup? How was it?

Its a waste of money. Sell it. Unless you are making over 400whp there is without a doubt no need for msd shit. No point in hunting down electrical gremlins when you dont have to. The oem ignition when in good shape works awesome and i've seen 6-700whp made on it before.

i agree with everyone that is saying to keep it. I have MSD on my setup and i got it because with my stock ignition i kept fouling out plugs, and as soon as i switched to MSD(6al w/ SS blaster coil and cap) i stopped fouling plugs. Granted you can go without it, but it will help. Also i highly recomend the two step. That is the best part.
