Default Turbo Ignition Setup

I am currently building my turbo project and I am now looking at ignition. I have a MSD 6A box and ignition coil but the S2000 is different than the Type R it was on.
Now the question is, how do I set this up? Do I need 6 boxes? Do I need to replace the factory coils? Im only going to be running 8-9 PSI. Do they need to be changed? Will the factory setup be good enough?

Thanks

What's wrong with the stock ignition? Why would you want to switch to a distributor when you already have individual coils and sufficient spark?

What are you doing for fuel control? I know many units won't control spark with our coil on plug set up.

Yeah, but Terry said the stock ignition is plenty for FI.

What standalone are you referring to?

You need to ditch the coil on plugs and go to coil packs and plug wires to use the eManage.

OK, I still ask how can we retard the timing under boost?

.....yeah emanage willnot work with our ignition - WITHOUT GETTING RID OF THE COIL ON PLUGS. Then it will work. (according to Greddy)
