Well ill be the first to say this...why?
This is a waste of funds unless your actually producing some sort of horse power, beyond that your spark from the OEM is fine

I am taking into account
1. me closer to forced induction
2. have bolted on everything i can bolt on
3. just curious

Aftermarket for the toyota ist/bb is still not stellar, considering you can find a reliable cobalt ls turbo kit easier than the xa.

You want to bolt on some spark? If you got a shiny dime, get these

yeaaaaaa, i saw those a little while back. The price is out of the question as far a im concerned, especially since i have seen nor heard of any reviews or r&d.
Thanks tho, and if it came down to those coils and thos alone, i would leave them alone. How can those coils be more expensive than aftermarket pistons?

Thank You
It won't work. We have a Distributorless Ignition System. What you need is a DIS-4.
