It is.

Specific one... depends on what you're planning to do.

The Ford coil packs didn't have an ignition amplifier. So when your ECU doesn't have one, you'll need either an amp module or a coil pack with a built in amp.

I found this out when I converted mine last winter and didn’t have a spark🙄
My mapper recommended a VW coil pack if you want one with a built in amp but I don’t know from which model.

You can also use an EDIS module. There's been some used as a standalone ignition system with a built in ECU and some that were just an amp.

The VW twin coil pack was probably one like the NGK 48010, used in hundreds of Audi/VW/Skoda/Seat vehicles.

Thanks for the replies, I have purchased 2x cosworth ignition amplifiers which the tuner put on my list of find it items, so with that in mind do I just get a normal coil pack?
