Injector hell.. is stock fine...
Ok well to sum up my story i ordered a set of 750cc injectors. took them over 2 months to ship them. I dropped my car off to get the injectors installed earlier today and have them tuned in. only to receive a call saying they do not fit about 10 min ago. now i need to decide if i should order another set and wait... or get a tune with stock injectors. my tuner sais i definitely need bigger injectors but from my research i dont think i need them. can you guys give me your thoughts, i need to call him back soon... grr im so pissed off, these injectors have been nothing but total and complete hell..
I dont feel like reposting my entire set up...

Unless you upgraded to a larger turbo or are running e85 on the stock turbo, the oem injectors are suitable. Yes, larger ones would give more room for adjustments and tapping it out, but honestly i think you should have spent money on an intercooler because if you are turning up the boost without decreasing air temps you are asking for engine knock.

considering its below or around zero most the year, cold air hasn't really been an issue. i spend the summers out of state working every year. but yes i plan on a intercooler upgrade once i decide what turbo kit i want later down the road. the set up i posted is what im going to have it tuned for and leave it for awhile.
I must be missing something about your goals for the car or something because injectors are not needing to be upgraded however, other people's input says they do.

If you want some honest advice I would appreciate it if you took a couple of minutes and listed your mods. I looked on your car domain page briefly and from what I saw, it doesnt appear like you need to upgrade your injectors. So how about your give us your full mods list along with your fuel of choice and we will go from there

see from what i have read on injectors is that stock would be fine for my set up, but was told by my tuner i would top them out if i used stock and i should upgrade to get full potential of my car. im just trying to avoid paying for two tunes because the first one was toping out the injectors...
