   Putting a different coilpack onto vts? Like dannygti has done with putting a ford one to his. What is needed and how do i go about fitting it?
   
   My coilpack keeps playing up so needs replacing so worth using something better to repalce it with.

   You just need the plug that fits onto the coilpack then re-wire it on to your loom, it's not a massive job, but you just have to make sure you get the wires the right way round
   
   But it will cost more doing this, may aswell just stick with the standard one, unless you plan a high specced car, I can't remember the exact benifits, obviously the common problem of the heat eventually killing the coil pack is gone, but I do remember some one saying you can get a slightly more accurate ignition timing on a map, how true that is I don't know though, I'm sure Danny will come along with some of the facts lol
   
   But It's just easier to stick with a standard one tbh
