When to upgrade fuel injectors

With my upgrade list in my sig, do I need to upgrade my stock injectors?

At what HP level would I need to upgrade? If the amount of HP is not the way to determine, what is the convention?

You don't need to upgrade unless you do a larger turbo or are planning to run E85.

Would you have to upgrade if you got a FPgreen?

I went to the 780s when I installed my green. You wont be able to tap the full potential of the turbo without a minor upgrade. If I had to do it again I would go larger still so that I could tune for E85.

IMO-When you get to a 85%-90% duty cycle on the stock ones.

Stock turbo=stock injectors.
Stock ECU can handle like 880 cc i think.

If you log your car, you can log (IDC) Injector Duty Cycle, and you can see where your injectors are @. I have been told that the Injectors go "static" @ around 110% IDC. So anything 100% or over, its time to upgrade!

If you dont log your car, (u should) but if you dont, w/ most of the bolt ons, you will need them. Im @ 97-98% IDC w/ my current set up, minus the intercooler (getting installed tomorrow) and once I re-tune for the new mods, I will need Injectors! mods in my sig.

I have a evo 8 with fp green/cams right now at 78% idc on 660cc. If I downgrade to a stock evo 9 turbo on a 8 with cams, would I be ok with stock injectors?
