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.

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.
