I was driving the car for the first time after the turbo conversion and when I went to accelerate the car had no acceleration and eventually cut out and wouldnt start again....

Now I took it to Adrian and he said the coil stuffed up and thats why there was no spark... why would the coil just break in 15mins of driving, could it be due to a lack of tune. Im running an Uberdata.

Any thoughts?

umm not really. u running stock iginition? if so i think its just bad luck. a msd cap and external coil might be an option for u, since its cheaper then OEM.

might of burnt out after too much "starting" (after the turbo install i guess?) ~

Happened to myself once after swapping a clutch - left the car on stands for a couple of weeks and due to a iffy battery and flooded cylinders the coil burnt out from a mixture of age and too much WOT stating.

Either get another stock coil + igniter unit or purchase the MSD unit as Weq mentioned

change it and you will be ok

also check/change yoru plugs mainly there GAP, you dont want any unnessasary load on the coil and ICM
