Definetly the Mitsu, i recently bought the oem coil pack and it happened to be mitsu. It's a more durable design with the rubber boot extended half the length of the coil, whereas the old coil (made by hasin)has a shorter rubber boot and it rips off easily after a while. The new coil looks more compact but feels slightly heavier, probably using more hefty/durable electric component.

Do you guys know which side our engine would be left or right? The parts guys say that there are 2 different coils - 1 for left bank and 1 for right.

I need the 1 for cylinder 1 which is on the windsheild/passenger side.

Thanks.

Left bank is towards the front of the car. If you need cylinder one, you'll need a right bank coil.

So cylinders 2,4,6 towards the grill of the car and cylinders 1,3,5 towards the windshield. Then the cylinders 1 and 2 are on the passenger side of the car near the crank and accessory pulleys if looking into the engine bay from the front of the car, right?
