Hey Clive,

If you have only 120Vac @ 15A available to run your coil, then the 
piggie is going to be a waste of time, money, and efforts. IF you have 
the option of getting a power source of 240Vac @ 50A+ later on and a 
place to store the piggie now, then get the piggie.

At 120Vac, the output on the piggie would be roughly 7KV, you also would 
need to obtain a ballast and upgrade all your caps and wiring too.

At this time with your limited power source, it would be like putting a 
Cox .049 engine into an Abrahms M-80 tank to make it go...   :)
