Zip tie to your metal pipe.

Needs to stay cool.

Its called an ignition amplifier.

Cheers guys! so do i just cable tie it as it is to the pipe? or unscrew the metal plate from the ignition amplifier and put the ignition amplifier on one side of the pipe and the metal plate on the opposite side and cable tie them together with the pipe in between?

it just needs to be kept cool and kept somewere its not going to jiggle around and snap off, so dont mount it on the engine and dont leave it hanging, up to you what you do with it tbh, ide just screw it onto one of the threaded holes were the air box was like said previously

What does it do?
I was wondering what it is on my 1.8t AGU.
It's just dangling at the moment.

It controls the spark to eack coil pack unlike the newer ones (AUM AUQ) that have it built into each coil pack - and fail for a pass time  :laugh:
