Anyone have any Pros or Cons for a 123 ignition D-jet tune-4-r-v-p unit for 74 2.0 ?

Yes, my 914 was "bucking" under acceleration. I replaced the throttle position sensor and cleaned the trigger points several times but the problem remained. Installing the 123 ignition took care of it.

That's interesting-I've been fooling with the TPS including a new 914 Rubber board had the trigger points out several times to clean and the bucking problem always comes back.

So how much is the 123 ignition and what is the best model for a 2056 with a mild Webcam?

Thanks-Rick

Low speed bucking was a problem I couldn’t get rid of, 123 solved that issue, I think it is associated with vacuum can problems.
You need a Bluetooth version for tuning.
