Authentic White's Coil

[havingstl]

There is a listing on ebay for this coil and I am wondering if it looks like a genuine coil or some type of knockoff.

Well, it is a coil. Is it made by White’s? No. But lots of people make aftermarket coils. That is not necessarily a bad thing.

A link to the listing would provide more information then just the picture, like what models it’s supposedly for. Looks like maybe TDI?

It does say for the TDI but that's about it.

Sound legit, aftermarket coil, but not that great according to the thread above. Then again people may have been expecting too much from what is basically a stretched out 5” coil.

Basically looks like a knockoff of the Jimmy Sierra T-Foot coil. As a long narrow coil you should expect a ton of depth. It is more to cover ground, like a huge beach. The price is not horrible at least.

That's interesting. I email the address on the sticker and he claims to have never made a coil like the one pictured.  Sounds like he forgot. With so many coil options on that list one has to match.
