[s-cars] Coil Replacement Options?

[Dave Forgie]

S-gruppees:  I have posted this same question at least once before.  The
question is whether it would be possible (and cheaper (??)) to replace
our coils with those from say a 2.7tt or 1.8t.  The newer ones are coil
and spark plug lead all in one unit, however, I think they are still
triggered by the ECU via the POS.

The reason I ask is I am beginning to think I have a boost-related miss
that I would imagine is based on one or two coils deciding they are due
for early retirement (age plus years of service = 179 K (km)).  It would
seem that going to the modern design COULD be better.  (And yes I know
about the coil recall issue that the 1.8t engines went through - that
was a manufacturing issue NOT a design issue).

Just thought I'd ask in case somebody has already investigated this
possibility.
