Default Would this Coil work..

on my S1?



Its off a Volvo 850 T5, its a bosch item..I was thinking if I took the wires/plug off and connected the 2 wires on my coil it'd work no prob,maybe as good as a "group A" bosch coil?

pointless or worth it? got it for free anyway so makes no odds if it works or not just curious if it be better than std or if im better with a grp A item.

If you want a better coil go wasted spark anything else is not worth the effort.
