Long time ago, VW issued a recall of certain type of plug cable coils, because they were defective and would burn out. What kind of coil are we talking about? is it the kind that is a separate cable/coil for each cylinder? if this is the case, those were the ones that had the recall. Maybe you have one of them. .... good luck
SOURCE: what causes to burn out one of the ignition coil of 03 bmw 325i
replace the busted transistor in your ECU. For Bosch 30011 or 30014 you can use BU323Z transistor for replacement. it´s 100% pin-compatible and released for transistor ignition systems.
coil is contoled by ground thru computer. use noid light to check operation.
SOURCE: 1994 Toyota Hiace gas engine - What causes the spark controller to keep burning out
units that burn out have excessive current flowing through them. You had to replace the coil and the unit so I would check the voltage to the coil and the unit as it may need 7.5 volts input. This excessive voltage would result from a faulty resistor or shorted resistance wire to the coil or from the ECM.

Those distributors get a lot of heat and vibration. Check all wires inside distributor and coil for loose connections.
Also check the main relay and fuse.
