I don't have a chip. But I'm running sprint764's and am very happy with them. I get pretty much no smoke and the power increase is great. I ran a 17.037@80.54 with injectors only.

NOT all "216" are created equal...

Contrary to what some might have you believe, you don't need to have excess smoke with that "size" nozzle. IF someone tells you their "216" is for race only because of the smoke, it is to excuse a poor quality nozzle.

It's a great injector. I have had them for 2 years. I started out with chip, then injectors with software upgrade on the VNT 15, then installed a 17, now a 11mm pump and headgasket, studs etc. I will keep the same 216s. Don't need 232s, it's my everyday commuter, has good power and not much smoke. You have many choices but it's a good for most mods.

well i just finished installing the 216s in the g.fs bug with new VW washers and i'm soooooooo glad i didn't go with anything smaller it idles and drives perfect the power turns on super smooth and zero smoke but it has me worried its almost to good i almost want to pull one out and double check the part number to make sure they are 216s. i can't wait to put a chip in just need to talk the g.f into it first baby steps considering her last car turned into my shop car. so far i have taken out the snow screen and snorkel and put a k+n in the box and disconnected the egr plus cut the inner fender out behind the intercooler and put mesh in. a full striate pipe with a magnaflow tip next i'm going to build some new boost tubes and intake pluming ,boost controller some autometers and than the chip. thanks again for all the help guys it sure makes a project go a lot easier when people really know what they are talking about
