traffic Member 51 Member For: 9y 9m 16d Gender: Male Posted 05/01/17 10:03 PM Author Share Posted 05/01/17 10:03 PM Just about to get a set of coils. I assume the genuine Ford ones would be the best? But just looking at these genuine ones on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-Ford-BF-Falcon-Ignition-Coils-Set-Of-6-All-4-0L-Engines-XR6-XT-RTV-F6-/151949507235 and the listing says "NOT RECOMMENDED FOR MODIFIED TURBO'S RUNNING HIGHER THAN FACTORY BOOST" - is this true? Is there a different brand that are better? I'm running 14psi. Cheers.

Replaced the plugs last weekend hoping that would do it, I'll go with the genuine Ford coils.

BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 9y 3d Posted 06/01/17 12:49 AM Share Posted 06/01/17 12:49 AM Well done, Did u check the gapping and gep to .7 or leave at .6? This could also cause a slight miss but highly doubtful when new.

BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 9y 3d Posted 06/01/17 01:24 AM Share Posted 06/01/17 01:24 AM Ahhh I thought it was at .6 for some reason. Should he not gap it to .7? Or not a big issue in your opinion luke?

Depends on boost level but .8 should be fine in this case.
