Will work with the EMS..however if you have a standalone the cdi version would be the way to go. This system was designed with stock ecu in mind. There are other reasons to run this system other than needing it. Everyone knows the stock coils are poorly designed and are unreliable. This system also improves idle quality.

Everyone except me, considering they've lasted 4 years on my Evo without a single hiccup while being raceed at high boost relentlessly without fail. Being able to race with all sorts of fuels and boost levels without changing anything except a cheap set of plugs invokes much different words than "poor" and "unreliable." I'm very pleased with how much stock ignition has performed. The only thing I'm looking for is to be able to run a higher gap now that I'm on E-85.

congrats on your experience with your stock coils. I didn't say they don't work. The OP has also stated he noted a smoother idle since installing this system.
A suggestion if you want something cheap install 1g talon/eclipse coils. I've heard other people had success.

Update...
Ok, I have been driving the car a bit now. This system is amazing!
The most noticeable thing is how much stronger the car feels out of boost. It seems to have more torque down low. Snapper throttle response.
It pulls harder to redline now with no miss or hiccup at all.
All I have to say it's awesome, bottom line!!

DS-03evo that was the first advantage we noticed on our car...there is a definite crispier feel and amazingly the car seems to make boost earlier or as you explained it feels like it makes more torque down low. Can't wait till Chad gets to turn up the boost and get this baby tuned. Please keep us posted. How about making a dyno pass on the stock coils and then switching back to this and post your finds

I have been in many SparkTech equipped cars and something I've noticed that with stock ignition coils and really aggressive cams, the car tends to turn off and you have to crank it a few times before it gets going on a cold start. With the SparkTech system in place, that's gone and that's even using POS spark plugs gaped at .26.
