Just wondering if there was a "best brand" of coil packs for the m50?

Or does anyone know of any super uprated packs that could be used?

:cool:

No idea, but I've given DanThe 2 sets of M50 coils in good condition if you are after a set ;)

Iv tried both coil packs, the Bosch and the other...(standard ? ) and iv had problems with both makes breaking down,
That could be down to them being old/well used,
It would be good if there was an "upgrade" option

Ive only ever had to replace one coilpack that wasnt obviously damaged, ive seen them blow the sides out also, the connector had come loose and dropped onto the exhaust manifold which caused a few short circuits :)

Iv had 2 break down on me so far,
1 on the mapping session, so I replaced all 6 of them with the ones I bought from you last year,
and 1 of those broke down yesterday :-(

Iv just bought another used set of 6, so let's see how long these last,
Might just get a stock pile of the buggers.

A friend with an 800hp evo raves about some called something like Osaka Project. I checked and they do them for m50's but they aren't cheap!

He also saw an 8hp rise from fitting them on back to back dyno runs, but he was having issues with the sparks blowing out beforehand

I can do with 1 or 2 of them dropping off from time to time, and replacing them with cheapo second hand ones
