Default HT Leads

Can anyone reccomend some good ht leads for my turbo?

It was tuned at TOTD but had now developed a misfire when it goes over 12psi of boost mainly in 3rd 4th and 5th gears.

Its got standard ford plugs in that are less than 1000miles old brand new distributor rotor arm and cap. so thinking its the HT leads as they are getting on abit and were from my 3i of old.

The car runs a max of 17psi of boost. The plugs i have are the AGPS 071c rated for the YB rs turbo etc etc. Was no problem on the rollers just as soon as i took it out for a spin that evening the missfire reared its ugly head.

Ford MoCo leads are perfectly up to the job. No point whatsoever in having your pants pulled down for fancy ones as they perform no better.

I would be careful fella, what seems like a miss fire on boost specialy in 3rd 4th and 5th could also be underfuelling!! How long ago did you have it setup, might be the metering unit has difted out, or the EMFPA is dead?
I had this happen exactly as you described, changed everything (plugs, leads, coil, dizzy, etc..) and nothing helped till I changed the EMFPA! Wasnt fuelling correctly on boost, lucky I didnt melt piston
