850/S/V/C turbo ignition lead options
in General
Hi all I think its about time to replace my ignition leads as well as the cap and rotor for preventative measures.
So i currently have IPD leads i got them second hand a few years a go I haven't had any issues with them I just want to replace them as I don't know how old they actually are.
What do people recommend and or currently run. The car in tuned and has all the usual bolt on i fitted genuine volvo plugs a while back and it has a MSD coil also.
Any info is much appreciated.

I meant to add the cap and rotor i replace with bosch items
I replaced mine a couple of years ago now with like yourself , MSG , Bosch rotor and cap and blue larger leads all from ipd . Now I just looked on the ipd site and they don't seem to have the larger blue leads on their site anymore, bit strange. I'd have to go through my receipts to find the size but definitely larger than oem ..
Edit : 8mm blue leads
Cheers Steve I did just have a look and I did find the leads on there website. I had a google to see if there were any other good manufacturers we will see what other people run.

You seem very adamant about that Les lol is this by experience?
@Ex850R You seem very adamant about that Les lol is this by experience or you just love Bougicord ignition products?
A search will tell you its like voodoo , they make the std ones that lasted many years , i always use them/swapped into the next P80 etc.
Yes I have searched and seen the info. If all else fails COP is the way to go.
Yeah that would be best. Depends, how much power do you want and need that for. LS coils were a thing iirc?
This ^^^^^^, always used them and never had issues
Bougicord is the OE manufacturer for Volvo, I think that's why they have a good reputation.
Thanks for all all the info and reply Gents. @Ex850R I did buy Bougicord leads in the ends you will be happy. Also new bosch cap an rotor to go in the mix just for good measure.
Its funny , the plugs they like best are Volvo genuine but BERU seem to make either the genuine ones ore some that Volvo use as i found them in my first V70R and so bought some new , never tried but similar to gen/Vol ones.
I've been wondering all week what I originally took off lol . Just had a look as I keep everything...
They would still be fine , Bougicord!!!!!!!
They look in good nick
What was that Les , did you say BOUGICORD ? 😃👍
Wee wee.
