Default Should I buy the chip only, or chip + injectors?

I want to be cheep and just get the Neuspeed chip for $315, but should I just go ahead and get the injectors as well for $715? It seems like bigger injectors would mean less fuel mileage(which I don't want). What do you guys know about that? I basically need someone to convince me that with the K&N, chip&injectors, and my exhaust, I will have the power that this car deserves.

Default Get chip + injectors.

Basically from what I've read here, it's far better to run upgraded injectors with the chip.

Chip increases boost which in turn requires more fuel. Stock injectors are basically starving the engine. In order to make it safe, chip tuners usually lower the boost for 4500+ rmps (or something like that).

Search for more info. There were some very detailed posts regarding this a while back.

Default gas mileage will depend on how heavy your foot is. its def. a worthy upgrade.

with normal driving i only lost like 2 mpg city. highway miles were actaully better than stock.

How hard is it to install the injectors? Is it best to be done by a mech.?.

You *need* injectors if you have a B6 and your chipped.
