droot Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 My ignition coil died and I was wondering if it was worth waiting for the est coil or should I just go and get the stock coil. Does anyone have the EST coil? EST coil will work out to be about the same as a stock coil volvo stock is $172 est coil is $129 plus overnight shipping Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteT5 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Buy an MSD Blaster SS coil for $40. The small amount of modification required for installation is not worth the extra $90 for the EST kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merlin390 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 like he said buy a Blaster SS coil for $40 bucks at Summit. I contacted Frank at EST about getting a coil wire and instruction sheet. If you want I will look and see if I still have the sheet and I can mail it to you. I did have some important steps on it about what to do and not to do. I can also e-mail some pics of how I mounted my coil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freeskier8585 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 even if you get the est kit, its cheaper than going stock, and it smoothed out my idle, better mpg cruising Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
