The Ultimate Ignition Coil Upgrade is Here! (APR Red Ignition Coils!)

Did my first full WOT pull on these a little while ago and no problems. Logs look good. They perform as advertised so far.

Performed the same as OEM then.

Exactly! I have OEM packs in my car and all my WOT logs show no issues whatsoever. Just saying...

Right. So far, these are as good as the OEM packs, cost less new, and red if anyone cares. Not bad.

Do you have a built block?

Internal only piston, rods and head springs

What are your plugs gapped at now? And are you still running the RS7?

I swapped to NGK Ruthenium plugs and didn't change the gap out of the box. The RS7s I pulled looked good but I had planned to swap the plugs regardless while I was in there.

What was the gap out of the box?

.028 to .030 ish. I'm running lower boost levels than a few months ago. I'll likely see how the gap holds up when I turn the boost back up in the summer.

Thanks. I just bought these coils just hoping to reduce the risk of knock. I was planning in using NGK RS7 plugs at their normal gap.

I think the rs7 plugs are factory gapped at .026. I think .026 with the 10 percent stronger coil, you will get great.

I used a feeler gauge and I think they might be .024

Mine came from fcp at .024, one was slightly off at .025/26

To add to RED coil packs annoying people...

I gold foil wrapped my coil pack wiring (picture of my "warm" 1.4lt)…….why?...ever had to re-wire the old 1.8T as the exposed wires got brittle with heat soak??..I have!!…& yes they made a heat cover for the Audi equipped cars which I retro-fitted when I installed new wiring in a Mk4 GTI

I just rechecked mine and the .026 went into one of them and .025 went in all of them. So I just made them all .025
