Most much maligned matched set of refurbs beats a boat load of Bosch brand newbies by being a better bargain besting Bosch beaucoup newbies besides beating back brand new to me’s in the butt dyno ballpark.

Hey, to each his own. I know that replacing my injectors with a refurb matched set made a significant difference. Injectors get dirty and the o-rings deteriorate, but there's nothing really to wear out.

These types of Injector, Solenoid's can last longer than the rest of the car. Depending on fuel usage and driving conditions they can get partially clogged and the seals can harden and crack hurting performance and efficiency but matching the fuel flow is a good thing all around
