If you buy the conversion kit from apikol you can get a beautifully machined stainless steel cover for a very reasonable price...

Don't use 1.8T coils.
Stock ECU has 3x higher dwell than what they need, they will burn out within 1-2 years.
Use 2.5 TFSI / 2.0 TFSI coils, they have overdwell protection, so will live a lot longer.

Do the red 4.2L V8 coilpacks also have better dwell protection than the 1.8T coilpacks? These ones:

The 06E905115E is what the dealers replaced during the recall action last time. These are fine.

@ PRJ: what is the OEM motronic dwell time? Does Motronic compensate dwell for the primary power side? (as in: altenator supplied voltage)
