would anyone recommend this for a 98 s70 t5m? how would you wire this is up to msd blaster coil? what color wires go where?

Yes i would, have had one on all 4 of mine. MSD coil should be color coordinated with the 6A. I can't remember off the top of my head, I'll take a look tomorrow.

2 wires go direct to + and - on the battery, 2 wires direct to + and - terminals on the coil, 2 wires direct to + and - wires on powerstage that used to connect the coil. If you need the exact colors, I can get them to you a bit later.

Im runnning .026 gap, I tried going larger but I was getting blowout, but I am also running a larger turbo, higher boost and a bit more advanced ignition timing.

Don't mean to thread jack but i re gapped my plugs to .030 and was not getting any blowout or anything at 18psi (16T) up to 6K is there anything else i should watch out for as far as warning signs or is it safe to keep it at that gap?

he's running a larger turbo so apparently the higher gaps aren't working for him.

If you're running at your current gap with no spark blow out there shouldn't be any problem. I'm changing plugs next week and I'm going to try to step it up to .032 on my ST 17psi tune and see how it likes that gap.

No, its not problem at all, its actually great that you can run .030. You want to aim for the largest gap possible without blowout. What coil, wires, plugs, cap, rotor etc.. are you using? Im wondering if its the turbo size/ boost level /timing or the ignition components that are limiting my gap.
