Where to get coils...

I'm after some small(ish) individual plug coils.

There's not really room for the usual coil-over-plug type as found in Subarus and VWs etc, so something vaguely cube shaped (for packaging reasons) with HT lead connectors on one end and an easily obtainable LT connector on the other would be good.

I'd prefer not to have a wasted spark system (I have reasons...)

The ECU should be flexible enough to drive most things.

Can anyone suggest anything that might be suitable? Not bothered about them being new etc, as long as they're an easy-to-get part!

Thanks!

Thank you again Stevieturbo
We seem to frequent the same places...

I think I'd end up with the same problem as you did - there's a lot of merit in taking the simple solution.

The ECU I'm looking at has the potential for individual cylinder trimming of fuel and ignition. This is more difficult with wasted spark.

I also plan to have some form of traction control at some point so want to keep my options open.

Yes - That's what I meant by "individual plug coils"

The coil packs from say an Impreza won't fit on the plugs and let the exhaust manifold fit on

BoostedLS1 - It's not an M8... But does have a decent feature set

Personally, I'd be more worried about a combustable weak mixure remaining in the cylinder from the last power stroke being ignited and causing detonation...
