Default msd wires: what to buy

I am trying to find a set of msd wires but no one seems to sell them for 944 turbos - even the msd website stated "not applicable" when it came to 944 wires. Who are you guys buying your msd wires from and under what stock or part number?

Tell me . with a stage II kit from jJohn does it really matter if I go with stock wires
Hope to be making 350 ( big hope ) at 15psi

Well, I'm working on a little resale thing... Not much mention on rennlist until I have the project finished and I am a rennlist sponsor, but I will be the direct seller. I have been busy!

That's great Good luck !
Is there any shot that the Magnecore 8.5mm comes in black
I have the red but the # 4 wire pulled out because its almost impossiable to pull without a wire puller

I'll have to get back to you on both those questions tomorrow. (Hey, haven't even opened the site yet!) but i do not think the 8.5 come in black. As for beru connections, no idea.

The magnecors dont have Beru connectors, the resistence is in the wires, not connectors.

Thanks Andrew
So the wires will have different resistance? (different lengths).
Are they a good replacement for stock if one needs to get new wires?

the 2.25 fit somewhat tight on the intercooler, took a bit of effort to get em all the way back, but they were almost too large for the stock IC pipe... they seal fine, but I would NOT go larger then 2.25 for the IC pipes. The vac hose I have came out of the myswiss kit, i think its somewhere around 4mm.

Yes they have slightly different resistence, I dont really think it matters that much. LOTS of people use the KV85's with no worries, I would say they are the most popular aftermarket option by far.
