My mapper is suggesting that I change my std injectors in the 2.5. He says injectors have moved on and I'll probably get better drivability by changing them. I will also be upping the power later in the year so this might be a good time to do it.

Do u guys have any recommendations?

Eh? Injectors have moved on? Well they have, but only to "direct injectors" IE injectors that inject fuel at high pressure (~100bar) directly into the cylinder.

Port injectors, tbh, haven't really moved on at all. If you want better atomisation then you need smaller holes and higher fuel pressure, but tbh, all that's going to improve is emissions rather than absolute driveability.

Now, if your existing injectors are too small to supply enough fuel when you "turn up the boost" well, then you are going to have to change them (or ramp up the fuel pressure)!

Maybe he was referring to the pattern or the responsiveness of the injectors. I think I'm running in the high eighties duty so might need a change.

What would be a recomendation for the 2.5?
