yh they are usually straight swap and the spark is much stronger so if ur running alot off boost ie over 1 bar the spark wont get blown out and cause damage hope this helps

Just recently fitted one to my cos.
it fits straight on in original holes as group a ones are elongated.
Only thing you have to do is change the terminals overs as group a ones use spade connectors not round post ones.
Took me a minute top spot where they had denoted polarity!!, in the space between each(pair of) connectors that stick up as there are two parralel ones each side but you only need one each side.
Made a world of difference to mine, better(much) idle, much better low down pick up (spinning a lot easier!!), and was smoother by a long way at all speeds, got mine from MATT LEWIS £32 delivered 01922 692424, if that helps.
Defo worth doing, if I knew how much difference it would make would have done it as soon as bought car.
Going to have a play with plug gaps when car back on road few jobs to do!!

Has anyone really benefitted from one of these?

None of the people with big power EFI cars use uprated coil packs...? Just a thought.
