Either one will just plug in and go. They just change the voltage used to fire the injector solenoids (100V, 120V, 140V) There is a mod that can be performed by opening up the IDM and replacing a resistor that will effectively mod your existing IDM100 to a 140V IDM. But if you have a 120V IDM, you just plug it in and go. It is debatable whether it makes much difference though.
