Mantis R8-Style Red-Top Performance Ignition Coil - MTP-1002
Mantis R8-Style Red-Top Performance Ignition Coil - MTP-1002
R8-Style Red-Top performance ignition coil
The Mantis MTP-1002 is an R8-style red-top pencil ignition coil. It is supplied individually for compatible VAG applications and suitable coil-conversion projects. Engine swaps require the correct adapters, wiring and ECU configuration; R8-style does not mean universal fitment.
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 on confirmed compatible OE applications. For engine swaps and coil conversions, check the required adapters, wiring and ECU setup before fitting.
