magencor leads

stoop44rio · 21-08-09, 01:55 PM

are there any advantages to using the magnecor leads as opposed to originals from the likes of GSF? also any gains from going 8mm instead of 7mm? my engines std at the mo but toying with the idea of a cam at some stage

As far as i'm aware they are designed to give a stronger/better spark but to be honest i've never used them so couldnt comment. Cant really see you noticing the difference, but i may be wrong. Whats the price difference?

I have them on my 10v ur quattro, which runs alot of boost, and the originals did'nt cope very well. I also had them on my series 2 coupe 20v K jet hybrid, as they were custom made for the job, 10 years on they were still like new, buy direct from magnecore though,as you will save quite a bit.

I ran them on my last car.

Very noticeable difference in response,more power and better MPG.
They last forever too.

Yep,Id say the same.....order from Magnecor.

Bit like buying a stainless...you need never again!

I would go with original having taken a set of magnicors off my red mb (giving a missfire ) which is now sorted by fitting audi leads on

Ive had Audi ones on the wr and they are shite, all my cars have magnecors much to my wallets annoyance!

I've had Magnecors on both of mine too and they haven't been a problem at all.

So if you are running a high BHP car then they are probably worth the money? Thinking back i had a set on a golf gti which had a slight hesitation which i thought was the leads breaking down so i fitted magnecor leads. Not big thick ones, just the cheapest ones they did but it wasnt the leads in the end anyway!
