Default Greentops are pretty coarse injectors with a firehose spray pattern...

much better suited to big 2-valve domestic motors than they are to small turbocharged 5-valves.

They will work, but they don't handle the low flow requirements of smal motors at idle and their on-off times are not good.

There are much better choices for these motors.

Default the min load of a DBW A4 is too low to allow them to idle properly

the injector on-time begins to hunt. i used to have logs of all the research i did but my old logging laptop crashed.

i agree...the Bosch Green Giants are a much better choice for multiple intake valve setups.
