Clarifaction please: Do I NEED or SHOULD I change the injectors for the KO4-15
Or is the 5bar FPR adequete?
There seems to be an awful lot of conflicting advice on this issue

The chip is tuned for a 5 bar fpr, that is the correct way to use it.
Some people have tried going to 310cc injectors and used a adjustable fpr to get the pressure correct to make the larger injectors supply the same amount of fuel as the stock/5bar combo. Just go to this page and find out what the fuel rate is at 5 bar for the stock injectors and then do the same for larger injectors to find out what pressure you need.<ul><li><a href="http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/fuelinjectors.htm">click</a></li></ul>

Depends.....
I've heard stories that a 5bar FPR has the same "cap" as a 4-bar FPR, so in theory, at high boost pressures, the 5-bar will have the same fuel pressure as a 4-bar.
If this is really true, then the fact that boost tapers off in upper RPMs is probably the reason why it still works. Plus, if this is the case, then a stock FPR and larger injectors would not work the same as a 5bar FPR and stock injectors, as far as the chip is concerned.
Only a fuel pressure gauge and WB O2 sensor would tell the story for sure.
I thought GIAC had a program for larger injectors, and if it was me, that would be the route I would go as I would think it would lead to longer pump life (less fuel pressures)
