Monark or Bozio?

I need new nozzles and I've heard good things about both. Any opinions between them?

Both are excellent. Bosio's are made in Italy and Monark is made in Germany. I have yet to see any comparison between them, but they are likely almost identical. Both are superior to the OE mercedes nozzles. You can't go wrong with either one, so buy whichever costs less and is in stock.

I use Bosio in my E300 just because they seem easier to get than the Monarks, and are the nozzles of choice in the VW TDI world which I have lots of experience with. Here's some very cool photos from the Fratelli Bosio factory in Italy: http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=64198

Bosios cost almost 2 times as much as the Monark Nozzles. And, Monarks seem to be popular with the Alternative Fuel users.

Both are good, I'd probably go with Monark.....but I have both of them actively in the fleet....and the Bosio nozzles provide a lot of low end torque and power, while the Monarks allow quieter operation (but excellent power also)

It would be a tough decision.....I guess its all in what you are looking for. If I put in Monarks and had less torque I'd go crazy and put Bosio's back in. I need torque.

Anybody know what type of Monark nozzle would be appropriate for a VW TD/Volvo D24T engine? Two of my turbodiesel Volvos need injector work and I'd like to use Monarks if I can find a source and get the right type.

I have the Fratelli Bosio nozzles in my 300D now for about 6 months. Im pleased, and the low end is great
