Miata Coils Wiring

Miata Coils Wiring
Hi there,
I am currently wiring in a Motec M8 into an Toyota 3S GE engine using Miata coils (running wasted spark)...
I would like your help figuring out the coil wiring. My coils are as follows
Just want to know how to wire them basically, what is trigger, +12V and ground.
Are these coils of adequate quality. The car will be N/A so no need for very strong ignitions.
These are smart coils correct? They have built in ignitors??
Sorry I searched but couldn't find this info an no adequate wiring diagrams.
This setup is not mine, Im just finishing this project and doing the tuning on it.
Thanks!
Paulo

FINALLY
So Ive worked it out.
I downloaded 2 mx5 wiring diagrams, one for the 4 wire type coils and one for the 3 wire ones (different model years)
Both were wrong and produced no spark.
The final setup that worked was:
12 V
Spare (previous tacho)
Ground
Trigger
In the both diagrams the trigger came between the 12V and Ground...not on my coils...
