I just bought a Bosch waterpump, and a crappy Autozone alternator, BUT it has a lifetime warranty, so I'm not too worried.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Cons: crappy

I put a Bosch horn from a '68 Mercedes 250SE in my Rabbit. Sounds like an "old" car and has a unique awesome tone. I used the lo-tone one (bought the pair) and sold the other Bosch hi-tone on eBay for $115 They cost me $6 for the pair at a junkyard; got lucky.
Pros: unique awesome tone
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I got mine in and running Perfect for people who need a little more room running ITBs It even charges better than my rebuilt bosch did (hitting 14v)
Pros: charges better, good deal
I bought a Bosch 48-700B from Pep Boys. The guy that helped me knew a lot about batteries and looked up the right one in the computer without any problem.
Pros: right one in computer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: 48-700B
Bosch 72174 = BIG
Pros: larger size
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: 72174
I have used both of these with great results.
Pros: great results
I just use Bosch
if you're planning on keeping the car a while then $365 installed is reasonable for a refurbished bosch (use the same mfr & amp that was OE) and that should come w/warantee & last about as long as the original.
Pros: reasonable price, comes with warantee
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Performance gains from only a coil, I don't know, probably none, however the car I have it in is completely stock in the engine department. As an addition to mods I think the coil is a good idea because it helps to smooth out these cases when mixture is out of stoich Maybe better throttle response.
Pros: better throttle response
My OEM coil was failing at the time, & I replaced the plugs from Bosch -+4's to NGK V-Powers (copper)so I'm sure the plugs contributed aswell. It always took afew extra cranks to start with the Bosch +4s......
Cons: extra cranks to start
