      Sweet! When we tune the GTI, we’re gonna test the stock ones vs R8 as well :)

    Has anyone had Bosch failures? I got a set from rockauto and im having 1 of them arcing to the plug intermittently. Gonna replace it but using dielectric grease has seemed to fix it for now.

      You're welcome! I will say APR makes coil packs that are supposedly better than R8 coils ("10% more energy output") and cost roughly the same. I plan on testing them soon when I change plugs but wanted to let you know all the options that are out there.

      I picked mine up from Modded Euros here: www.moddedeuros.com/products/oem-ignition-coil-06e905115e
      They have other options as well, such as a CTS brand R8 coil.
