if you blow your coil current is too high.
It can be too high because of:
-dwell time configured too high
-wrong polarity of signal to IGBT
-IGBTs already fried and keep coils energized all the time
-shortcut to ground between IGBT and coil
-...

Could you be more detailed about your setup?
Have you a fuse installed?
