NE KG Injector Cleaning Observation

I just got my injectors back from KG after getting them cleaned and flow tested. The car is a 3 owner with 151k on it, but apparently these have been cleaned before, or they were just really really clean. The before and after flow on all 4 injectors was exactly the same! They have all new o rings and pintle caps and smell fresh.

I guess it is just nice to know that KG is really honest and didn't just try and make me feel like I got a better value by making the pre-cleaning numbers way lower than they were. I guess you always wonder about that in the back of your mind...kind of like having a house tested for Radon by the same company that would install a Radon Mitigation pump...you are just sure they are going to come back with some outrageous number just to get you to install one of their mitigation systems. However, with KG (specifically Kieth), they were up front, honest and told me like it was, and for that I would highly recommend them!

My before/after was similar....and I had alot more miles. IMO it's still the thing to do while you had them out. And now you've got new caps and 'O' rings.

I agree and I am very happy I did it and the FPD while there...now to solve my little vacuum issue...I must have forgot a line or switched one as I have about 14 mmhg on idle instead of the 16-17 I had before and my boost/transition isn't as smooth as it was...I know these vac lines quite well after working several times under the manifold and I can't honestly think of any vacuum line I forgot last night...
