0,5l/100km less fuel consumption, consistent, and what is most important, my Golf was the only car that started by itself this winter at -30 C outside, among about 30 cars in our courtyard.

Pros: less fuel consumption, consistent

I highly recommend this one: It gives probably the hottest spark out there, is a direct replacement to oem coil and is not expensive (~$30).

Pros: hottest spark, direct replacement
Cons: not expensive
Part number: 0 221 119 030

MSD Ignition coil

I put an msd blaster coil #8220 in my fox and it works fine... No ping and I also get better fuel mileage due to a hotter spark for a clean burn.

Pros: better fuel mileage, no ping
Part number: 8220

MSD Ignition coil

I went with the MDS Blaster High Vibration coil http://www.msdignition.com/coil_blaster_3_8222.htm in my rally car because of the inherent suceptibility of an oil filled coil to extreme shock. The MSD is epoxy potted and fits in the stock location. It does use the American style connector for the high voltage wire but I also use Magnecor wires which will accomodate both. In the process I also improved the supply (+) wiring and ignition control (-) wires. In the end my oscilliscope showed me a much cleaner and longer pulse was being produced which probably helps combustion under otherwise marginal conditions.

Pros: cleaner, longer pulse
Cons: American style connector

Bosch Ignition coil

It's Bosch KS with a turbo 5K coil. The turbo coil is known to work very well for 18+ PSI, and I am firing it earlier in the cycle than most, which should make the job of sparking easier.

Pros: works well for high boost, easier sparking
Vehicle: Audi

I \"upgraded\" my ignition coil to an MSD SS Coil after my OEM Bosch began to fail at 110,000 miles. It's a rare opportunity to upgrade a part on a car & actually spend less money on the part. & for whoever that made 900 HP on the stock coil, I'd bet money the MSD would make more lol I'm not trying to be an @ss, I just see this so much on the Vortex. Someone inquires about something, EX) Headers, UD Pulleys, Light Weight Flywheels, etc, & you have atleast 10 @ssholes that say they don't work. I'm done ranting

Pros: cheaper than factory, easier starting
Cons: OEM Bosch failed
Mileage: 110000 km

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.

Pros: better throttle response

I have a 1776 and was running the pertronix with the bosch blue. Rebuilt the top half of the motor and now have a MSD coil (because it was the only one I could get on the weekend), and I have noticed no changes in engine performance.

Pros: no changes in performance

MSD Ignition coil

I ended up with this MSD when I bought Tim's motor and the MSD finally crapped out after about a year of me driving with it. In running a coilpack, I notice no tangible difference between the two. Yes, the MSD looks really, really cool...but if you ain't worried about looking pretty, spend your money elsewhere.

Pros: looks really cool
Cons: crapped out after a year, no tangible difference
Vehicle: Volkswagen
