Thats what it seems to be like. The coils I had had only a little over 20k miles on them so its kinda weird how to determine if they'll be enough or not. Same part number as on LJs coils and everything.

List of issues during the whole build. Sorry if it sounds like I'm ranting.
1. Received my first intercooler from IP with smashed in inlets. I sent it back.
2. Received a different turbo from IP than I thought I was gonna receive. I sent it back.
3. Received my second intercooler from IP with smashed in inlets again. I sent it back a second time.
4. Found out that my $5,000 dollar turbo kit came with worm drive hose clamps and not t-bolts.
5. Found out that my chargepipe had the BOV flange welded into the wrong spot. I received a new one from IP.
6. Found that that IP wanted me to cut my frame to make the intercooler fit. I modified the intercooler instead.
7. Found out that I have to remove the air pump. IP includes a close up of the EGR (air recirc valve) block off plate installed in one of their install pics but the plate is not included in the kit. I had to buy one from PuddyDad which I had to modify when I received. The holes for the mounting studs weren't drilled wide enough so it wasn't a hard fix.
8. Found out that I received 06+ ID2000 injectors instead of 00-05 injectors from T1racedevelopment.
9. The package with the correct tops from T1racedevelopment was torn when I received it and missing half of the parts.
10. The second package from T1racedevelopment is missing a washer. I'll go to Lowes to see if I can find the correct size.
11. Found out my Full Blown dual pump hanger wont bolt up to the tank correctly because the holes weren't drilled correctly.
