    99% of the time these fake coilpacks are a total waste of time. Weak sparks and break down in no time atall.

    Ok well would an engine diagnostics pick up if my coil pack was knackered?
  7. #7
    Not usually

    Mine showed up because the diagnostics machine showed the coil voltages and one was dropping intermitedly.

    no performance gain on a stock engine, but more reliable + higher spark energy available.

    we use them on the turbo cars to handle over 400bhp no problem.

    I assume your coilpack cover has to be got rid of if you convert to that kit?

    no

    just need to trim the edge so the leads can pass under.

    8V ones are alot cheaper than the vts ones generally.

    When it comes to coilpacks and sensors though its practically always worth going for OEM. Eurocarparts are the worst, lost count of the amount of parts ive fitted only to break a week later.. or never work in the first place. I don't deal with them for most stuff anymore unless they sell genuine oem stuff
