Default Upgraded Plug Wires ???

I saw the how-to on making your own performance wires the other day, and thought it'd be a fun and easy upgrade. Before I do it, I had a couple questions. First, what size are the stock wires? Previous performance wires I've had were 10mm. Second, how easy/hard is it to get to the wires on the TTs? I know some cars are cake and others are a biotch! Any info is greatly appreciated as always!

If you dont have a stand alone ems, you have to use the coil packs.

Not even worth considering, you have coil on plug setup, there are no wires like your htinking about. You would need a standalone as Cincy said or I've seen some custom jobs done with the old VR6 controllers but the effort is not worth it, Ignition Solutions has a nice setup if you just really want to spend money on ignition, but it will be at max about 5-7 horsepower and close to 1000 bucks when all is said and done.
