With change of standalone ECU, I had to change the inidividual coils on the car. I bought some huge Bosch coils to fire. But I also need sparkplug wires.

Space is limited in the engine bay, so I found a place rather far from the head.

I will need some rather long sparkplug wires. Also the coils have a "female style" boot.

I keep reading about HEI and non-HEI style boots. I don't know what that means, since I am not familiar with sparkplug wires on domestic applications other than fomoco.

I need a place where I can find universal to fit my application

Just buy uncut wires and cut them to your desired length. They'll come with both sets of boots and everything else you should need. You can get Accel 8.8's for like $80. The long wires are like 48" long before you cut them down.

Perfect. The universal kits come like the one you have? In that case I'll get the accell on either jegs or summit

I am on a Microtech LT12S. I got hooked by how easy it is to tune. I will probably checnge to AEM in the future, who knows.
The turbo is a SP67GT HO ( High Output T67 Q trim) 0.81 A/R. Iused to have a t78 and was told this one is much better. Can't wait to drive the car again.

The car is haunted by electric gremlins. I can't figure out an ignition problem, hopefully the change of coils OEM to waste spark friendly coils will take care of that.

I ordered a set of MSD 8mm Super conductor plug wires. Let's see how it goes.
