Servicing the fuel injectors is cheap and IMHO should be standard with any FI build even if an injector upgrade is not needed. A fuel pump upgrade is not a bad idea either, considering the stock pump problems.

Yes.

The OE 4-port secondary injectors are allowed a 15% variation and still considered normal! That is NOT what I would call accurate.
That said, in a 6-port, the mean injector flow will be closer to nominal since there are 50% more nodes in the formula.

Scheduling injector maintenance now... about a month out on account of my effed up schedule ... in the meantime it's back to very easy driving out of boost.

I contacted a local well known fuel injection specialist place and they said they would balance, flow test, and clean all of my injectors for $175.00. They will also dyno my car afterwards for $75.00 for three pulls. Seems like a good price to me, what do you think?

I think it was only like $50.00 for them to do that but I am so paranoid I doubt I would want that anyway,
