I had the same dilemma, either buy 'reman' chinese, or have mines cleaned with ultrasonic bath. Because I'm located in Canada, ultrasonic cleaning was even more expensive due to shipping to USA. I looked a lot at the China sellers pictures and came to the conclusion that most were selling original injectors but they were at best just thoroughly given a good brush to look new. I don't think they even put them in an ultrasonic bath at all.
So I went with US sellers for ultrasonic cleaning service. Result was a 20% mpg improvement (they were pretty clogged and I was getting about 14mpg!) and I did bench test one of them before and after cleaning and I was impressed as well. As a side note, the filter basket was clean, but fuel varnish causes nozzle restriction at higher miles.

First of all Merry Christmas everyone!
In my last post I said my old injectors didn't have BOSCH logo on them. In reality they did have BOSCH logo on them. I went online and found what an original BOSCH injector looks like and what to look for.
Found some great info on number of websites, but this one was the best https://www.injectorsonline.com.au/blog ... and-pumps/ They also have a lot of other related information on the matter. I also checked all the injectors that I bought and all of them had the logo as well. This actually gives me some hope that my new injectors will work and work better then my old ones. Now all that is left is to finally finish my fix. Thanks again for all the good info and advice.
