Bosch raised the price on the 185's to stop the bombing. PDR did some more research and found the 190's. I'm sure Bosch will crank the price up on those eventually to stop us from "tampering".

You can get 30-40 HP with just a few pump tweaks. I'm running stock injectors and mine has plenty of power for now... still thinking about making more changes

I was lookin' at that PDR site, thinking about injectors after I get my housing downsized. Wondering about those Prince of Darkness injectors. How come they don't say a rating like the 185s or 190s? Also, I was wondering why I've heard about getting better fuel mileage with bigger injectors? Seems like more fuel = less mileage to me, dunno...

POD's are a 60 HP injector on an intercooled truck - so you could call 'em 220's I guess.

A new set of "clean" injectors (190's, smaller EDM's) can help mileage compared to a worn out set of stockers. The improved spray pattern makes for a more efficient burn, so as long as you aren't using the power all the time your mileage may improve. POD's aren't likely to help unless you have a couple injectors that are so far gone they're dribbling.

That makes sense. Why would anyone ever replace a bad injector? Duh!

Bosch 190's

It may just be that my pump is worn out but I didn't notice much of a difference in power going from stockers to the 190's. I gained about 2psi of boost with the 12cm housing. Personally I would just step up and get some edm's. I almost feel like I wasted money going with them. But as I said maybe fresher pump would have given me more power with them.

Yes you can, with the help of a fuel pin or a dremel tool. I have a basically stock truck and turbo and hit 195hp to the rollers last weekend and the TV cable was stopping me from geting all the throttle. Bombs are in the sig.
