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?

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.
