PTE are good as well as the ones that Buschur sells and they are reasonably priced. Depending on what size you need you may be able to find a good set of used ones on here. PM me and I can help you find what you are looking for.

FIC's work well and seem to be the most reasonably priced.

Just my opinion but I am not real fond of the FIC's in my car right now. They are a pain in the a$$ to get the latencies right. Charlie (Kreionic) has stated similar things in our conversations.

FIC's hands down........Jens is one of the nicest individuals I have ever talked to and dealt with, customer service and expertise is top notch.

The comment on the latencies is bs because FIC and PTE use the same delphi injectors....for 1000cc and under. Only thing FIC does is remove the pintle cap and supply a much better viton seal kit (includes viton lower seal, Hat, and (2) upper o-rings). PTE only supplies a new lower and (1) upper o-ring. The other differences is how they are labeled, FIC 950 is what PTE calls there 1000. Plus how they are matched per set is different per company, but I know FIC matches each set.

I ran PTE 880 (which are the same as FIC 850's) with the FIC seal kit and my pintle caps removed as per Jens instructions when I called for a seal kit. The only reason I ran them was because my friend sold them to me brand new for 1/2 cost, even when I was talking to Jens he said that is a deal you cant pass up!

I now run the FIC 1050's which are a Rochester unit and they are absolutely amazing.

FIC
Between the DSM and the Evo I've been running them for the past eight years and only had one problem; their old rubber seals that they don't even offer any more started to dry out, crack, and leak. I called them up and had them over night me their new Viton seals.
