Owner reviews for ignition coil

i had a MSD 6a with blaster 2 coil installed on my turbo ABA. it did drive much better/smother. the hardest part was to take apart the stock coil. but after that it was quick.

best ignition coils ever. i've been through two other OEM revisions before finally getting the Hitachi bolt-downs from ECS.. and i've been misfire free for about 6 months now!

the car does seem to idle smoother but I can't really make a valid comparision since I installed a new dist. rotor along w/ the coil. The real reason I chose this coil is because it was about 60-70 bucks cheaper than the oem unit and who knows... maybe the hotter spark will help out.

Definitely gave it more spark because my car idled higher and the inside of my coil wire where it connected to MSD had all types of bright green/blue corrosion starting. Definitely noticed a major difference in idle when I took the MSD out. Car was a lot quieter and idle was smoother.

i believe the hotter spark and the MSD system created a smoother running car. i switched back and forth between the stock coil and the MSD. while the stock coil did work, the MSD made the car run smoother and didn't break up at higher boost levels. the MSD blaster 2 coil is a lot cheaper than the stock coil also. no more cracked coil housings.

had the same problem in the gti...just got a replacement coil pack for 32$ at the VW dealer and was good to go...i hear its a common thing to replace...

I burned out 2 jacobs coils using the Bosch ICM with CIS before I put in a MSD blaster that held up fine. The Jacobs would get burning hot to the touch, I returned them to autozone.

just put hitachi's in my aww. literally 2 miles after i got it chipped, #2 and 3 blew out the older styled black ones that were in there. no problems with the hitachi's yet

Performance gains from only a coil, I don't know, probably none, however the car I have it in is completely stock in the engine department. As an addition to mods I think the coil is a good idea because it helps to smooth out these cases when mixture is out of stoich Maybe better throttle response.

Bought new coil. Lucky to get good German Beru unit for little over $90...last of luck. Put in new coil, still no spark.
