I've gotten Magnacor from Fensport before. They look good and fit well. Worth getting cap and rotor also if you're doing leads - my 2c

If you're suffering from lag, you're either in the wrong gear or the wrong car!

I would go with Mr T as well, never had a problem with them and unless your running serious boost I don't see the need for "upgrading" the plug leads. Upgrading the iginition system would be where I would start until you notice a considerable breakdown in ignition at high temperatures / revs. Then its time to look at upgraded leads or convert to coil on plug set ups. IMO

ATS recommend standard Toyota leads for high boost applications. They are supposedly the best all round. I like the look of my blue magnacors so unless they give me trouble at the dyno then I'll stick with them..

I went with Magnecors as well - some people swear by Toyota and I'd say there isn't much difference. Maybe more shielding and bling in the Magnecors Camskill deliver next day (well, to Dublin anyway) if you're in a hurry. Camskill As quandry said on the dizzy and rotor - they're basically a service item on the turbos.

When I had a single coil, I found the toyota leads inferior to the crappy nology ones that came with the car.

copper plugs produce the best spark, but need replacing more often. I use BCR8ES (NGK) The ONLY advantage of rare metal plugs (Platinum, Iridium)is that they last longer. You are also unable to gap them safely, without risk of damage to the brittle electrodes.

Re:spark plug leads 2 Years ago
i do agree that copper gives the best spark, and i know what you mean about the electrodes, but in my car ive tried different types and have found the iridium the best but saying that they dont last as long as the genuine Toyota ones, starnge i know but in other 2's ive had the copper plugs have been better, just the luck of the draw i recon

Re:spark plug leads 2 Years ago
now that i think about it, the copper plug was better in the 1990 G limited 2 i had, but in the last 2 turbo models i found the iridium plugs better

I got new leads not so Long ago cos My HT lead decided to Disintigrate on me whilst overtaking a Convertable Merc on the M1 at 95mph, very Sad and Very Embarressing!!! I replaced the Leads with the Toyota "shoe-laces" as they came Highly recommended!!!
