CLK270 CDI
Hi all,

I'm after views, ideas, opinions and input regarding upgrading the injectors in my CLK270 CDI and so far I've come up with 3 routes.

1. Buy a larger set of injectors - Bosch C30 CDI are the obvious choice.

2. Have my current injectors/ a 2nd hand set refurbished and upgraded to flow more.

3. Change the injector nozzles?

I haven't much experience with the mucky side of diesel tuning, which option is going to be the best, is it worth going the whole hog with brand new injectors or will a refurbished set modified properly for what I want be better?

Cheers Big Ears

P.S the goal is more power, everywhere.

I dont think you will need to do injectors until you have done turbo. They flow plenty, even with lots of extra boost. The only time you will need to upgrade them is when your looking at 400+ bhp.
