CRAP-O-LAA
Installed 'em.....stumble / miss at 4K, part throttle.
Put back the old coils.....all clear and better than before (guess a connection had been bad...as my harness is less than perfect.
So...to be sure...I put the STI's in again.
No good!
No doubt...they go back.
Old coils are in and car is hammering.
2.0 gives a deep guttural tone unlike any aftermarket exhausts. Not loud....just mean!

Default both OEM bosch (the old ones) and the STI's carried same, latest design codes..>>

ending with 115E. They are the exact same.
the STI's are probably reman., here in USA, of the Bosch units.
So STI company managed to take a bad product and make it worse!
