The Right Hardware for Your Hauler

ECOBOOST PERFORMANCE

INTRODUCING THE FIRST PERFORMANCE COILS FOR THE 3.5L TWIN-TURBO FORD ECOBOOST, PERFORMANCE DISTRIBUTORS HAS ENGINEERED AN IGNITION SYSTEM FOR THE HIGH TORQUE-ORIENTED ENGINE.

As you know, the Ecoboost is a different “animal” in the world of engines. And, of course, a different style of ignition system is required for the twin-turbo six-cylinder application. With the torquey Ecoboost, the company developed the Sultans of Spark (S.O.S.) coils to produce more energy in the low to mid-range—right in your Ecoboost’s power band. The result? An extreme high-energy spark in your twin-turbo combustion chambers. You’ll feel improved acceleration, smoother idle and quicker starting. Whether you drive an F-150, Explorer, Taurus, Police Interceptor or even a Flex, you can enjoy the additional performance provided by a set of S.O.S. coils.
