how do the stock coilpacks look?
i have a 1.8t
but it shows s4 in green writing

 

i forgot to tell you guys,
after revving a couple times in that lot i saw a tiny bit of smoke coming from the engine, temperature was still fine but it was coming from the headers, higher end not lower.

 

hey a4speed have you ran your quarter?
and what is a heatshield?

 

a heat shield is exactly what is sounds like, it shields heat from your turbo to your intake so that you don't get as much hot air in the intake, thus lowering intake temps, thus creating more horse power, thus givving you quicker 1/4's



the stock Coil Packs look like this



they are the black things

 

mine look nothing like that.
if you heat wrap from your headers all the wayy down to your exhuast will that give you more power too?

 

thanks for the pic.

 

In theory, yes it might give you a small increase in HP, but right now I think you have bigger things to worry about then how much heat, your engine is producing.


Anyway I'm guessing you still have the Ko3 in there which is about the size of a newborn babies fist, so heat isn't a huge issue, it's when you swap out the turbo's for something a bit more potent that it becomes a concern.

What do your Coilpacks look like? I think that picture might have been from a passat so they might look a little bit different.

 

they are more of rectangle and they have green writing on them.
3 of them are from s4s and one has grey writing that says BERU on it which im guessing is from germany?

 

do you know what that piping is leading to in that pic?

 

oh yea and how do i know if the coilpacks are bad?
