Default Injector and fuel pressure questions

When I bought my TT ZO6 I was told it had 50lb injectors in it. They are lime green I am now told those are 42lb. Anyone know for sure?
On the ease scan putting out 600/600 on low boost injector duty cycles show 95%. I would like to see around 80% this is why I am asking.
Next question how much fuel pressure are we looking for on these cars? I just got the guage put in and at cruise it shows 58-59psi. I have not checked it at any real boost yet I have a bad wheel speed sensor and it keeps tripping the Traction control and ABS faults. I have a boost-a-pump on it , it is at max already but not sure of what the actual pump is.
Last question(at least for now) where is the fuel filter on a C5? I figure I will replace this just in case it is dirty and lowering flow. I just bought the car 1.5 months ago so who know how long it has been since done.

58 psi normal, most green injectors i've seen are SVO 42 lb, at 58 psi they will be close to 48 lb

I agree. If they are truely SVO 42, there should be a part number on them. Read it off and then google it. That should tell you for sure.

The rating of 42 lb. is at 43.5 psi. Since you run a higher pressure system, the flow rate will be higher as well. Just an FYI.
