Default Help with Coil

Hey all,
I am trying to fit a new coil pack, and the bolts which hold it on are odd sized. 1/4 too small, 5/16 too big. 6mm too small, 7mm too big. Anybody know?
Cheers,
Mike

Fuel pump - it will be the fuel pump. I repeat, check the fuel pump. But I could be wrong. Actually, I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

I know how you feel JC. I used to be indecisive, but now I'm not so sure! :

Any performance gains to be made using a better pump than factory? Whats a pump cost? What about the Pressure reg? Any info appreciated.

Thanks JC.
