Default Fuel injectors - cleaned, reman or new?

I am thinking about getting my injectors cleaned or possibly replaced with either new or remanufactured injectors.

I've run some injector cleaner through the tank, but I suspect they are really beyond that. I've heard varying stories of people experiences with the quality of ultrasonically cleaned and reman units. I suspect it depends on who does them, what they actually do, and what their quality control is like. Usually some improvement is reported, but based on prformance reports, often still not as good as new.

Thoughts?

I'm currently getting my H22 injectors cleaned at an injector shop. I believe they are using an ultrasonic bath to clean them, and also flow test them to make sure they are performing right. One of them has been pretty bad, as it's been there for three days now, but the others were flow tested at 375cc which is apparently higher than the OEM specs.

So I guess it depends how rooted your injectors are, hopefully my last one pulls through. Just make sure they flow test them to prove the cleaning actually worked.

Check the fuel injector filter baskets on the actual injectors. They are just under the fuel rail inside the top of the injectors. If they are full of crap, that might be your problem.
