Default 99 AEB coil upgrade

I'm thinking of upgrading my coil packs but looking around i got options. Which options do you favor , some id have to cut and some I wont have to. Reason why im looking is because misfires/stumbles when i hit around 11psi boost but still kinda pulls ahead.

AEB to ATW

Or AEB to TFSI 2.0T

Why not diagnose and repair the problem? AEB coil packs are pretty reliable. Nothing you listed is anything I would consider an "upgrade"

I completely cheaped out and bought no-name coil packs from FCP early last year. $75 for all four, shipped. Absolutely no problems in the year+ they've been on the car, even handling a Stage 1 APR. They probably won't last forever, but at $18ea the one year I've gotten out of them is good enough.
