Ignition coil NGK or OEM Audi
I've been running the NGK since I'm pretty sure they are the OE manufacturer. Subaru is charging crack prices for those coils.
I would get NGK, Denso or Motorcraft coils though, you don't want to cheap out on critical parts like this.
I have NGK coils and plugs on my B14NEH. No issues at all.
Get a Denso or NGK coil. You can try an auto parts store coil (do NOT get one from Amazon) and if it solves it, order the Denso or NGK.
Working well so far with accuspark dizzy and leads and no issues. I have one on my MorrisMini project as well and provides good spark.
IF I can't find that product available, I can ALSO use the NGK 48977 U5084, and that's usually a few bucks less than the Denso.
Ainda assim, pus bobina NGK e comprei as velas NGK tb (mesmo código da css, só que mais baratas. De 300 por cada uma de Iridium na css com logo da hyundai por 120 na autopeças).
I installed ngk coils originally and they lasted the longest ( around 8k miles before the first one went ).
NGKs product quality has diminished but a brand new set of 6 in and 2 of the six aren't working after about 2 months
NGK gave me troubles on one of our old LR3s
