Default Fuel injector cleaning experience wanted

I'm going to pull my injectors and have them cleaned.

Would appreciate any recommendations or experience from the group about where to send them or more important where NOT to send them!

Had mine done at www.affordable-fuel-injection.com and was pleased with everything. No surprises, turnaround was quick...can't ask for much else.

All the shops mentioned are good places to get your injectors serviced. I just advise that any place that you consider have a few years of experience. It may be wise to shy away from places that only do them ocassionally, like a auto repair shop that bought an injector machine, since they may not do enough of them to really know much about the processes.

A friend of mine just got excellent service from WitchHunter. Quick return shipping included. Complete before and after report. Not only cleaned and flowing within 1% and new seals and cap, but new filters installed as well. I didn't know there was a filter in the top of the injector. The injector kits that usually cost us about $6-7 per only include seals and cap, so the WitchHunter injector service is a good deal.

cruzin performance worked great for me. I appreciate the before and after flow data provided as well

I paid $106 with shipping, i couldnt be happier. If $106 is too much then dont bother doing them at all. I dont think you will find anyone to do it cheaper.

If you have an S4 or later (dunno about earlier cars) whichever service you use make sure that they know that one of the two o-rings is oversized and doesn't come with the standard kit. I've been told you can only get that bigger o-ring from Porsche. When you get your injectors back make sure that the o-rings are not the same size. The bottom one should be obviously larger.

WitchHunter seems to be aware of the seal issue as the injectors came back with the correct seals.
