The imobilizer stuff is built into the stock ECU. You can not swap one stock ECU with another with out getting it reprogramed.
But since the stock ECU is what is doing the imobilizing, once it is gone and replaced with the AEM EMS, it is no longer functional. The AEM EMS does not care about the imobilizing features and functions, the car works fine with out it.

I wish it was possible to keep the immobilizer function with ems. I would be all over it. My first mod was an alarm with starter kill and there is still no way I would give up the immobilizer. Don't want this one stolen too.

Nope, I don't think so.
Evo has this feature that sway away car theft (can't hotwire the car). I would like to have the feature keep if possible.

What is the liklihood that a thief who knows what type of cars not to steal is going to know you have an EMS?
If they try anyways, you can install any kind of kill system you like but it wouldn't be a difficult to defeat as the immobilizer, true.
