I don't plan on buying things that are that expensive unless I know they're the problem. Already said I have someone with a dizzy they're going to let me try, as soon as they get it from a city 2 hours away.

Problem fixed

My roommate had an extra new y8 dizzy so I put all the parts in, had to put on a plug, runs great!

Now just to get some money and pay bills so I can finish the turbo...

I figured it was something with the ignition but wanted some second opinions before buying parts.

The POS is still having the same problem. I swear it's effin annoying driving a car that accelerates shaky and has unbalanced shitty tires...

Any other ideas?

I just put in a practically brand new dizzy with new cap, rotor, ignition coil.

Why would I need another?

Hmmm not sure if we have the same problem...I'm guessing you have different injectors? My engine is still completely stock.
