are these pico injectors the real deal?

  1. #1
    everywhere ive seen the pico iwp069 490cc injectors at £300 plus. found them on ebay at £50 each and also on google shopping for £150 for 4, was wondering if there are fakes out there and if these 1s are fake.

    i dont want to pay £300 up if these are real.

    are you stuck with standard size picos? I'm guessing you want to use the standard fuel rail? Price drops hugely if you can use full size injectors.

    Gotta be genuine IWP069's really if you're fixed to the minipico size. Bite the bullet on the real ones, the clones are a huge false economy. You'll have nightmares mapping, can be 20% out on the fuelling from one cylinder to the next so risk overfuel/underfuel that the lamba wont detect...

    Honestly, don't scrimp on this part of the build.

    GMC have them at £60 each - £240 for the set. Not worth trying to find cheaper.

    It does?

    Not according to the invoice in front of me!?!

    4 x injectors = £240 + £4 Postage

    £244 + £20% = £292.80

    Don't no where these prices come from.

    I just got 240 plus £3 tax and £15 postage. Total £258

    I think £15 is abit pricey for postage, may have to call tomorrow
