Injector spray shape: how important is it ??
#11
Your link really makesd me hesitate: it provides the set of flow matched EV14 for 340€ delivered in France
Best price I find for ID1050X is around 520€.
It is really difficult to know if the quality difference is worth the money
And how do you know that the set on your link fits the AP1 ?? (length, O-ring sizes, connector ...)

I guess even the "best" fails sometimes. I also paid the premium just to be safe, but clearly this is not the case with ID.
I got pretty lucky and found the fault before mounting though, otherwise I might have sprayed down the engine with fuel and if really unlucky burnt it down.
The injector I linked to is the same size as the ID1050X but it has no top or bottom adapter.
If I remember correctly pre facelift has 11mm top and those thick spacers on the bottom, you can get those separately from many places or maybe from same place in a ready package.

It might be even cheaper from some french store, I mostly linked to finjector for their great assortment and that they also seem very trustworthy.
I'm not using my ID adapters so I can check the lengths on them later for reference if you want.

Your injectors comes in a sealed plastic bag, one slot for each injector.
How big of a chance would it be that someone in the distribution chain opened up the box, took out all four, disassembled one and then damaged that, assembled it again and
then sealed it up with all for again?
I don't really care about paying for an o-ring, I was just hoping for some kind of interest to solve the issue or an excuse but there was none.
