Default Do i really need to change my injectors?

I think i'm right in saying that my 1998 grey 380cc injectors will go to 300bhp, i'm still running my standard TD04, which i'm looking to change, but only really looking to hit 300bhp. As want it to last the years.

Any input or idea's welcome

If you only want 300bhp why not just get a hybrid or hawk TD04 which should see 300 if you're lucky anyway and you get the best of both worlds in terms of spool and power.
I'd imagine they should just about manage it, you might want 440's for safety or if you go for a bigger turbo, there's a calculator somewhere online which shows you what you can expect at a certain duty cycle.
Also try Mark @ Lateral for some advice.

You will just squeeze 300bhp out of 380s but if you want it to last years change them to 440c, to allow some safety margin and headroom

Ok cheers for advice, I've contacted a company about converting my TD04 into a hybrid, but they were asking over £600 and can get a decent turbo for that.

So the 440 injectors, is it better to get Phase 2 and convert them to fit the v4 fuel rail?
