Default Ignition/Coilpacks

Just noticed a few have MSD coilpacks, is there any noticeable benefits to fitting them? If so, where can i get them from?

I've had no luck with hyundai coils man, 3/4 of the ones I test are quite out of spec. Maybe they don't work upside down or something.

It's the spark plug wires being upside down.

Won't be going that high, turbos cost far too much over here, if I had the money to do that, I'd also have the money for a 12 year old Porsche- and i know which one I'd spend the money on.

Nothing to be gained from fitting aftermarket coils then?

Not really, not many have tried it with a stock motor

If I had a stock motor with a bad coil is try it out who knows maybe you'd get a better idle or something
