    Yeah I'm curious how you are going to use those items on a DIS as well.

    You cannot use these pieces on a DIS ignition. Only ignition system upgrade
    compatible with S-Series Saturns is the MSD DIS2. A cam sync generator is
    also required for certain years, but I don't recall which. Accel makes a
    high-performance replacement coil as well.

    The Saturn ignition is very good from the factory. Unless there's something
    wrong with yours, or you have a setup that presents problems for the stock
    ignition (big shot o' spray, or high-psi turbo), there is no horsepower to
    be gained by upgrading the ignition. The money is better spent elsewhere on
    something that WILL make a difference.

    A good source of info on this and other topics are the forums at
    http://www.turbosaturns.net.

    Lane -
    Have you seen the little 1psi "electric blower" turbos? I wonder how
    much performance you might get from hooking up a leaf blower into your
    intake.....

    I've seen video online of people who have connected a leaf blower to the
    intake to force-feed more air into the motor while on a dyno and it does
    make a difference, believe it or not. Do a google search on "leaf blower
    dyno" and you'll find info/video.

    Those cheapie electric fans that go inline with the air intake to give it
    some "boost" are worthless. I've seen one in-person, and the person who
    purchased it said that it showed no difference on the dyno. Looked
    identical to a computer fan inside a piece of plastic pipe.

    Seriously.
    Consider what a leaf blower would do!
