I did not have the injectors tested prior to installation..... although there are numerous threads on the site that speak to bad or inconsistent rebuilts from Bosch.... I must just be lucky.

Peter's description of a cold start is accurate. It does not bear any resemblance to a gasser (just as a point of comparison)...... plenty of hiccups and smoke for the first 30 seconds or so, and on my 300D, the GP's cycle for about 20 or so seconds before the light goes out I just use the time to fasten the seatbelts and tune in my favorite radio station.

Today was my first commute after all the improvements and the change is dramatic. I rarely put my foot to the floor and my commute is a combination of highway and interstate driving with a few pretty good hills thrown in for good measure. Comparatively, the car is now a "bat out of hell".
