Default With these upgrades, do you think there will be a difference?

I changing my injectors to the FMS 30LBer's, TSP lid, and a new ed wright tune. Do you think that the car might run a little bit better? I know what a loaded question im asking, but assuming the ED can get the tune right, the in theory should be more responsive right? The reason why I changing my injectors and tune, is becuase even after drilling a 1/4 hole in my NEW bauer TB, the still wont IDLE for Sh*t, my injectors are at like 90% duty cycle, and my SLP lid cracked while I was accelerating the last time i took my car out.

The injectors at 90% is a symptom, not the problem. Sounds like you're running too rich at idle. Just scale down your VE 1200 rpm and below. Bigger injectors won't change how the engine idles.

i agree with cal. also sounds like you need a proper dyno tune instead of an ed write mail order tune.

how long have you had the H/C, injectors aint gonna help you get a better idle especially with the 110lsa and your a4.

i drilled out my TB on my cam to 13/64 and it idles fine, havent tuned it at all and im running WAY rich, im an m6 though.
