Question Deatschwerk injectors, good or bad?

So I posted a few weeks ago my pics of my engine overheating, having a piston fail, and a piston pin seize. After asking questions and searching the web I still do not understand my malfunction. Many have said that overheating will not cause this kind of damage. The worst would be a bad head gasket and bulging hoses, but all of that was fine. I'm not comfortable running my new engine unless I do to prevent it from happening again.

Deatschwerk stopped selling their injectors for Evo X due to common problems with flow and failing. I am currently using 1000cc Deatschwerk injectors. High end shops such as Road Race engineering states that they work but they do not recommend them due to their own personal mishaps. I plan to send them to RC engineering to have them bench tested but wanted to see if anyone has any opinions. Thanks

I am currently running deatschwerks and have had no such problems. They are currently maxed out with their duty cycles and still running strong. Some companies will have a few bad apples here and there. If you are concerned about it I would not even think twice about it and just get some new FIC or ID's

Before spending another $300/$400 on injectors I plan to have these bench tested first. Thanks for letting me know about yours. As you can see from the pics everybody I talk to state that it wasent overheating that did that damage but I seriously have had no other problem. One major difference was that I was running a street strip tune on a circuit track. However I had no problems all day till I overheated it at the end of the day.

Did you have them bench tested and what results did you get back?
