Any injectors other than the stock ones will REDUCE power, not increase it. The ECU will make the car run either rich or lean and that will only hurt power.

yes you can, but you will need to remove the inline resitor packs from your harness...

the S4 uses low impendance and S5 uses high...therefore if you leave the resitors in the high imp. injectors will not get the correct signal

Didn't they switch from low impedence to high impedence during the '87 model year?

The switch to high impedance occurred sometime in mid '87, so it's likely your car is already set up for high impedance. Your only issue should be that the plugs will not fit as the '89 style injectors have round connectors. Just swap the plugs.
