REAL SPARK COIL IN A 1-INCH PACKAGE!
In reality, it's fairer to call this device a “spark coil simulator” than a “booster”. Instead of a voltage-doubler like most of WM's competitors, the BTAC2 uses an 80 ohm coil to mimic the action of a larger spark coil, providing an identical “kick” of high-voltage to trigger vintage tachos which won't trip reliably at 12 volts. Better, because it's an actual coil and not a doubler, it will trip tachos the competition can't, like old VW's that need a spike of negative voltage. Internally, it uses a honking 2-amp 400V mosFET to drive the coil, so it won't blow up when connected to an active-low ECU output like some other designs. For driving high-voltage tachos of all stripes, this little powerhouse won't just replace the MSD 8920 and similar devices, it will outperform them in a much smaller package at a fraction of the price!

Works great for using the keeping the stock tachometer for a 1989 VW Vanagon. I recently changed over to a Microsquirt ECU and the TACHOUT signal is not suitable for the stock tach and could be damaged. The solution was the Widget Man Tachometer Booster. The support was also appreciated.
Worked perfectly for my ls swap.
Worked perfectly in conjunction with the BTA tach adapter to supply a tach signal from my COP twin plug coil, to run my 1960s tach.
