Ignition coil MSD or OEM Audi

The Audi r8 ones are good tho, for a tuned vw

I used R8 performance coils in my mk6 golf R. Have been excellent.

I went from sub 0.030" spark gaps to the stock above 0.040" spark gaps without getting spark blowout for 4 years now.

I replaced the OEM coil with an MSD ignition coil earlier this year after having similar misfiring issues. Haven’t had any issues since.

But once you get the R8 coils they lasted for a very long time.

R8 coil packs definitely work better IF you’re tuned.

I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.

Couple years ago I put a full pack of MSD coils on it, and they ran amazing right off the bat, and great for about 3 years before I had a coil fail on me while I was camping.

I have used the R8 red top coils. I went back to stock coils after noticing a slight low speed low rpm hesitation. No misfire codes but it just didn’t run the same. It ran great when winding it out but I don’t do that all the time.

Soooo many burnt up MSD ignition coils. We tried our best.
