Ignition upgrade kit

[infinkc]

I work for VW/Audi and although the bolt down coil packs are better, no car has used them in years. The only time I see issues with the push down style is when someone doesn't seat them correctly. RS4's, TTRS, etc. all use the push down style. The wiring harness for them actually helps hold them in as well as it's very rigid. I would have thought you would have tried to use the red ignition coils from a 4.2 V8 or something as it would be better as far as reliability and for the "bling" factor.

Yea was going to get the red ones at first, they were about $40 cheaper also. Just wanted to keep the bay stock looking and with the covers you would never see the red.

Yea, you're right. I was just thinking about that last night when I had my covers off when I was doing my catch can. If you don't have the covers that go over the valve covers you can't put the kidney covers on. And I think most of us here can agree that without the kidney covers the engine bay looks a lot messier. I ran without them for a while and then ended up putting them back on because it looked cleaner. So in that case you're right, you wouldn't see the coil packs anyways. I guess in all seriousness the bolt down coil packs are better anyways, but I figured it would be nice to run the most recent coil packs. It would be nice to remove the power stages though because then I wouldn't have to have them bolted onto my heatshield for my intake. lol
