Well, ive coil split a few 4 conductors, but have a guitar that has 3 conductor, active emgs. Everytime i watch a coil split turorial, they tell me you have to have 3 or 4 conductor pickups, but never show how to do it on 3 conductor pickups. Is it as easy as hooking up that middle wire of my 3 to the same lug they always hook the 2 "red and white"s up to in the videos.? Any help is much appreciated.

I have held back from comment because we have a pickup winding expert within these walls!
That said, I understand the electrical topography as it is quite simple, but access may be more difficult. Perhaps the ends of the pick up windings are connected to eyelets? There should be a connection between the north and south of the respective windings and you need to tap in there somehow and lead the new wire out to a switch. If you have access it should be obvious.
I ruined a Yamaha two single coils configured as a humbucker by trying to replace the two white covers with aged ones like the scratchplate. I ended up replacing it with a Bare Knuckle "Crawler" humbucker. If it was me I'd install a four conductor humbucker to scratch that coil splitting itch, and retain the original for subsequent reinstallation.

Bushman - the difference is that it is an EMG, and they have a special wiring scheme.
If it were a plain old passive pickup I could point you in the right direction, my recommendation would be contacting EMG directly with the precise pickup model and tell them what you want to do.
Good Luck,
John
