The TFI module is known to crap out when it gets heat soaked. Many have relocated the module from the dizzy to other spots in the engine bay where its cooler and mounted it to a heat sink.

if im correct im pretty sure the tfi module plugs into the under side of the dizzy? how do u relocate it if it plugs into the dizzy. also when im driving im only pulling about 5 inches of vaccum shouldnt it be around 12-15.... im running 12-15 pound of boost on stock engine with the ihi turbo. it just misses very bad when driving and i really need to get it fixed.

just make a wire harness that goes from the module to the dizzy, 3 wires and some spade connectors.
