I am sure they are sufficient for the stock level of tune. I would assume the OP is going to run a pretty aggressive tune.

sufficient only if satisfied with stock or lightly tuned performance, go beyond that with your hopes / wants and the stock turbos will not take you that ultra high horsepower promise land, not to mention even in stock form they don’t breathe all that well past 5500rpm.
