Default I bought fake 60lb siemen deka injectors...on purpose!!!

So I bought these injectors off aliexpress last week to see what these injectors where all about. I did a lot of research between the $120 replica injectors and the $340 real ones. What I found was there are alot of sellers around the internet on Ebay, Amazon, and various other independent sites selling the replica 60lb injectors at a markup(around $200) and passing them off as genuine Siemens deka 60lb injectors. Some of these Ebay sellers have hundreds of these sold with 99% positive feedback so that means somebody is buying them. So I started doing searches for individual reviews and I found people raving about making sure not to buy fake injectors but I never found anyone with a use case scenario that sounded like a deal breaker. I read one about them working as expected but they were prone to dripping when fuel pressure was present(such as before start up). I Also found a video made a few years ago about the flow differences which came out to approximately 7% but i found another video showing factory ctsv injectors with 10 miles on them which had over 12% injector flow difference. So I decided to be the guinea pig and see just how good or bad these are I spent $129.13 with the ev1 pigtails and shipping included directly from who I think is the manufacturer in china. These supposedly come with 2 year warranty and arrived within 4 days of ordering directly from china. On initial inspection they look great and they come packaged in sealed plastic to keep the injector safe. The company also directly contacted me to make sure the order was correct and I was satisfied with what i received. So far I am very happy hopefully once I get the car tuned for these I will stay that way but anyway let me know if you have any questions. thanks guys

Good luck, you are going to need it. I've seen a few chinese knock offs and could always tell when tuning. A couple even took out motors in the process. If somebody tells me they got a deal on injectors on ebay, etc I turn them away.
