S-gruppees:  Long time, no dumb questions.  Anyway, that's over.  Here's
the question:

Has anyone had their injectors checked for real flow rate vs. what they
are supposed to do from the factory?  The reason I ask is that I was at
a car show (mostly hot rods and customs) on Saturday and one of the
booths had I guy with a Bosch (and others) injector testing machine.
His business is to test injectors, clean injectors (and replace some
small screens), etc.  He (Tom) suggested that any time an injector is
still  flowing 10% or more different (read worse case: "less") than its
other injector buddies after he has done his cleaning thing,  its time
to think about getting a new injector.  He also said that new injectors,
even Bosch, can vary significantly out of the box (or boxes).  Not what
I wanted to here.  Any informed thoughts?
