Dude wtf. You don't have to rip into him like that, he didn't give any context to why he wants to know if anyone tests like that. Maybe hes on index12 already.Dont pull your injectors without the special tools or gaskets. You'll make things worse. If you not on index 12, just buy them quit being cheap. I'd never buy a 3 series from someone who cheaps out on everything because the engine will go boom fast. I'd also never buy one who thinks the stock 14k mile oil interval is good especially with more boost over stock.
You seem to want to buy everything Chinese like turbos, fuel pumps ect... so go buy Chinese injectors and call it a day.

You obviously haven't seen his post history. Everything is China on here, Facebook, bummerboost, almost everywhere.
He also talked about Chinese index 12 already in another injector thread he created.

In this post I meant and yes I have a China made lpfp it handles E60 n the logs are good and it's over 3 years old now. Oem *edit autocorrect* couldn't even handle E35-40.
Where are the best index 12 injectors at a semi decent price? Mine were done at BMW in 2011 with index 8 and 5.
I understand your interest in Chinese stuff and I'm sorry if I sounded like an ass. Its just when it comes to fuel injectors it's the one thing you not only should replace to index 12 asap but you definitely dont want to buy them on Ebay. I say this out of concern for your engine because leaking injectors make engines go boom.
I got lucky and had mine updated to index 12 from BMW but if I didn't I wouldn't hesitate to update them asap. I'd hate to lose my engine from a broken injector. Also you mention e85 which is killer on the old injectors. I'm guessing e85 killed mine to because they didn't start leaking until I ran e85 for 6 months. Index 12 handles e85 a lot better than the old ones.
FCP? Buy once?
I think many people over estimate a service departments desire to deny a warranty claim.
Why would they try and avoid getting paid by the manufacturer of a product to do expensive work? Does the manufacturer pay them to do an inspection and determine a reason to deny a claim?
Found this on youtube....
Yea i don't think I will be removing mods to get warranty work done. Probably better off doing it myself. I technically have a bumper to bumper warranty I got from the credit union (What a waste of 3k+) for another year. I am AWD with downpipes plus stock location silicone inlets. The flash back to stock and removal or turning off the jb4 not a big deal. Stock fmic will no longer attach like factory and some work would be needed to be done for the chargepipe stuff. Not even sure if I have my stock air box anymore.
Thing is I know it's dumb but for $35 I bought an anti lag jb4 kit. I hold the volume down floor it build boost but it SUCKS! MAYBE because of leaky injectors? First time I did it I let off the volume down and the car lurched before it took off. Did it right after it took off but spiked my AVG_IGN from 0.2 to 2.5. I don't really use it unless I'm trying to be cool like at automotion last week slap it in neutral hold the button spool them up and let off the gas to hear the HKS BOV @ 24 psi lol.
I don't know anything about the antilag kit but if your injectors are leaking I wouldn't drive the car for long. You have a warranty, why not use it? Does it state that you can change things on the car? These injectors cost about 1600 new I'd swap the inlets back, put the stock Airbox on and put the intercooler back and remove the jb4 and flash from the car. It's worth it in the end because there's always a chance something else is wrong which will get fixed as well.
I had an intercooler on my car and when I took it in for warranty work I took it off and used the stock pipe that came with it, I just connected that pipe to the stock outlets with a tbolt clamp and it was fine. I figured if they asked about it I would tell them I changed my coolant so I had to drop the intercooler and remove the stock 1 time use clamp.
Your downpipes should be fine, but if there is something wrong with your turbos they will blame it on that, I'd say remove them if you have turbo wategate rattle. I got my turbos and valve cover fixed under warranty and I'm glad I put it back to stock for that, costed the warranty company 9k so I got my money back for the warranty and then some.
