Nothing stopping you, but i think the advantages are more or less cosmetic.

Hehe nice col, speaking from your acres of experience on this subject, having put a grand total of 0 performance coils in your car :P. I haven't installed any either, but I hear having fatter sparks can give you tourque gains throughout the rev range and lets you run boost better because the spark is less likely to blow out.

well with high performance coils they say that you will get a bigger spark under higher preshers than a standard coil, but because of the pre combustion chamber in the er turbo head would this be better or not make a diffrence at all

Yeah thats true I didnt think about the spark being in there, might negate a few of the effects, but there is still gonna be full pressure in there, so it should help i guess... Why dont you buy one and tell us! ;D

I am currently using a Bosch 40R. I have try a few different types already. However it doesn't seems to be improve alot until other accessory are added in.

spark plug leads (9mm) $ 50 a set
Champion Gold $ 3 Each
Earthing kit $55 total 6m enought for the whole engine bay
Pivot volt regulator $100.


Thats all the electric accessory in my engine.  It run a bit quicker. Burn cleaner and use less fuel

id say you could run a wider plug gap for a better spark.... what you really want is an msd..... dick smiths used to make a kit.. i bought one once and it blew my elec dizzy to pieces.. after a year that is.. did five sparks in the space of one and would also jump a 25mm gap....  had a "shock can kill you" warning on the side..... ooooh nasty ;D
