RS4 coil packs

i've seen a BT build on another forum where the owner is using RS4 coil packs

doing a little googling i've come up with the only difference being the colour (they are red topped) and don't provide any performance benefit according to some RR tests done by APR on another forum

but then another source states that they might increase longevity - and yet ANOTHER source that says the only difference is the colour, and with them being "E" revision coil packs they'll be worse than the coil packs that were issued in the recall ("F" revision)

what are peoples' opinions/experiences?

I keep both the 'Red' and the 'Black' coilpacks in stock.  Tried them both in the Skoda and found no difference at all.

They do have a different end number, but the full part number is different.  So the latest TFSi coilpack ends in 'F', but the latest RS4/R8 coilpack ends in 'E'.

However Red is the fastest colour  :evilgrin:

Red ones worth several horse power when you lift the 'hood' if running no engine cover.

If you never open your bonnet tho they are a waste of monies :P

Only my 10p -  'I know nussing!'

so apart from Okada coils what other options do we have?
