VW Golf GTI & Golf R (Mk7/Mk8) Performance Ignition Coils - Mantis MTP-1003

Built for the EA888 Gen3/Gen4 2.0 TSI in the Volkswagen Golf GTI and Golf R, Mk7 through Mk8, this Mantis high-output ignition coil is the direct upgrade for one of the most tuned engines in Britain — from a 220PS Mk7 GTI to a 320PS Mk8 R, almost every one ends up mapped, and higher boost is exactly where standard coils give up first.

Why Choose the Mantis MTP-1003?

• 12% More Spark Energy — a neodymium magnetic core stores more energy than the standard ferrite OE coil, for a stronger, more consistent spark under boost.
• Built for Boost — the thermal headroom for standard, Stage 1, IS38 and Stage 2/3 cars, curing the boost misfires that weak spark causes.
• Bigger Flame Kernel — more complete combustion for smoother running and sharper throttle response.
• Direct OE Plug & Play — fits every Mk7, Mk7.5 and Mk8 GTI and R. No coding or VCDS work needed.
• 2-Year Warranty, UK Stock — UK-engineered with every unit tested, same-day dispatch on orders before 3pm.

Golf GTI Mk7 owner James H. fitted the MTP-1003 after chasing a misfire under boost for months — it plugged straight in, the misfire disappeared, and throttle response felt sharper than before. A full set of four takes around 15–20 minutes to fit.

The Mantis MTP-1003 is compatible with the following cars fitted with the VW 2.0 TSI EA888 Gen3 & Gen4 engine — 4 coils per car. It's always a good idea to verify your existing coil's OE number too (listed below).
