WTF is this???
I think it is a coil, maybe an amplifier. Either way I would like to install the HKS Twin power. I have found the wires that I need to splice in but I don't know if I should leave this in or take it out. It also has two plug wires going to it. That is why I think it is a coil.

Looks like some kind of aftermarket or replacement coil. Where do the wires with the blue boots on them lead? Directly to the plugs?

What do the stock coils look like? And what is the device behind this? I have seen the same one on another 3rd Gen. Could that be the stock coil or amp???

It looks like someone attempted to fix a bad ignitor by replacing it with something else (the ignitor is quite expensive, last time I checked it was more than 500 dollars).

Yeah, I have searched for that company but I have had no luck.

Website (www.loweperformance.com) is down, but Mazspeed lists a phone number of (941) 924-8597. Hope this helps.

Well, Ignition has always been on my "to do" list. I guess I will see what I am missing from stock parts and go back to those, then install the HKS TP. I have had high end break up with boost around a Bar for a while.

I guess the end all question is, Do I need to take this out when I hook up the HKS Twin Power or hook the twin power inline with it?

it kinda looks like on the side it say denso as part of the mold of the plastic or rubber what ever it looks like. but from the picture it could say something else.

I agree with some of the other posters here...
It is an FC coil. This part is frequently used as an "upgrade" from the stock FD leading plugs coil. If it is properly connected and grounded, I see nothing wrong with keeping it.
The reason I put "upgrade" in quotes is because I am not sure how much of an upgraded it really is. There are plenty of cars making 400+ or more rwhp on the stock FD coil. I think the people that do this say that the FC coil has more windings than the FD coil. Therefore, you'd get a higher current delta when the coil fires (more spark!).
Maybe someone with more experience than me can comment on when this becomes a needed upgrade.
