VAG TSI/TFSI - Golf GTI/R & Audi S/RS performance ignition coil

Supplied individually: price is for one ignition coil. The number required for an engine is not the pack quantity.
Why upgrade to Mantis ignition coils?
Whether you drive a standard road car or a tuned performance build, a dependable spark matters. Mantis coils are engineered to support consistent combustion, with stronger spark delivery for engines working under load.
12% more spark energy
Mantis states that its neodymium magnetic core and precision-wound copper windings deliver 12% more spark energy than standard OE coils, supporting consistent ignition under load.
Smoother running engine
A stronger, consistent spark supports smooth running and easier starting. Replacing a weak or failing coil can help restore reliable firing when the coil is the cause of the problem.
Simple OE replacement
A direct replacement for the matching original coil. On confirmed compatible applications, installation requires no coding, wiring changes or ECU remap.
