Just had cyl 5 go bad (was the first last time too) so I know the others will follow.

Did anyone come to a conclusion on this discussion as to what worked best/lasted best?
I'm keenest on something that is "oem plug & play" rather than modifying wiring, but I don't want to keep replacing coils every 60,000km (give or take).

OP, what did you go for in the end?
Thx
If you are getting 37k miles on OEM coils......I don't see what the problem is. You are running a tuned 6cyl motor making 400-ish HP, with turbos pushing more than double the stock boost. These things take maintenance to keep them running properly. I put new coils and plugs in my car every 10k miles (thanks FCP Euro).

Throw a fresh set of new Delphi or Eldor coils in it and be happy.
