I have them in my 2.0 FSI, only running them because my original coils went bad and got them for free (used) off another forum member. No problems to report, I don't think there is any real benefit other than lower cost and aesthetics on a stock car. Maybe if you were highly modified you might see some gains but I would not be putting them in with the intention of getting any sort of power gains over properly functioning stock coils.
Ok, thanks for that.
The main reason to put these in is to prevent premature failure of the stock coils which are prone to fail when tuned.
The R8 coils provide a stronger spark which will still operate under boost.
They’re exactly the same as stock ones, the spark is the same. I had them on scope and even tested them side by side with the few different ignition coil testers and there’s absolutely no difference at all.Quote:
