Default Ignition wires question

Alright, today in an attempt to check my spark plugs, I managed to break one of my wires. The connector that sits on top of the sparkplug pulled right out of the wire. These were Magnecor's which I really didn't like in the first place. My question is, would stock ignition wires work w/ my turbo setup or would I need to stick to an aftermarket wire set?

stock ign wires are the ebst out there. They dont pop off they dont have issues just make sure they are in good condition.

that has a habit of happening with aftermarket wires. i dunno why. i had vitek wires and that same thing happened. those guys are great.. i sent them the faulty one and they replaced it for me free. i think they main reason is because i didnt lubricate the plug covers. they always recommend that when puttin on new spark plugs. oh well.

I have heard stories first hand of Magnecores popping off under load and so forth. I went with NGK blues and there great!

I have NGKs still...bought them back in 98 still working fine. However, MSD has the least resistance and I have used them on all my other cars without problems.
