It is. This was a DIY kit that I messed up on!

Ill say it again, awesome kit Spoolinup. I changed my gap from .026" to .031" today. Drove it around and actually got rid of some minor backfires I would always get along a certain downhill by my place. Car accelerated smoother as well.

Trip 1: 23.8mpg
Trip 2: 22.8mpg
Trip 3: 23.0mpg
Trip 4: 23.4mpg

Pre COP average MPG was ~22.8 so I have only seen a very small bump in fuel economy if any.
UPDATE!

I wanted to update my MPG results based on some recent changes. I recently removed my K&N filter as it was long overdue for a cleaning. To my suprise the gas mileage is actually much better than it has ever been.

On my first tank of gas for a 300 mile trip I got 25.6mpg. I will be taking the return trip on Friday and will update the results. Therefore, it would appear the gas mileage has increased dramatically, but I will wait until Friday to see if I can repeat the results.

Again, since I purchased the car new I almost never exceeded 23mpg.

Awesome mileage man! Probably a bit high because of all the highway, but still, wow!

You think the Yaris coils would stand up to the MW box?

To 9 owners with this / similar setup - What gaps are you running ? I have been running the stock gap and wonder if I should make it slightly bigger. What do you feel the advantages would be of a wider gap (longer spark ? ) ?

It's not how they would stand up, they are driven differently than the coils normally used with M&W. I guess you could say smart coils vs dumb coils.
300m coils are the ones to use if you are going the CDI route!

Stock gap will be golden! Enjoy the kit! You could always open the gap up to .030 and lower it from there, but I think the time could be well spent doing something else.

No box, she just plugs right in. Four coils replace two, that's it!

Are you running the stock heatrange plug? What is the recommended factory gap?

I'd say that .028" with the COP would be ideal.

I am currently running a cooler plug gapped at the stock recommendation (can't remember what it is)....I think a broader gap would work since I have the COP, just don't know if there would be a benefit...

I always say start at .028 for mildly modded cars, .026-.024 for highly modded.
