Mr. Injector is awesome. It's rare when someone does something really well these days. Figured I'd share the experience.
I printed out the form on his site, put it in the box with my injectors and a week later got them back with documentation verifying the before and after flow. They received a fresh coat of paint and new seals AND elbows with internal springs were included in the $ 17.50 ea fee. That alone is worth the cost. Check out the pics.

Ive used him for over 100 injectors. Great service and results every time.

Now I’m just questioning whether I should use these spring-supported elbows...or the ones I bought from tangerine....

I used him also and was quite happy with his service and pricing.
I bought four 1.8 injectors from a non-running car so i didn't know if they were good or not.
Its great when they come back with documentation so you know what you're working with.

I would just use the hoses that are already attached unless you have fitment issues.
They look like quality FI hose and the internal spring is a nice feature.
Are you going to install everything on the runners and then bolt those on?
Mr Injector also has some nice YouTube videos that are fun to watch.

I didn’t use them, but I did have the same service done by another vendor. Dramatic improvement to idle and general running.

Compare pricing for other vendors offering like items.
YIKES!

Used his service. After sitting 8 years, 2 were at 10% and 2 more were at 20% flow. Would have been hard to start like that. Good turnaround, fair price and the report is helpful. Like the lifesavers too

+1 on Mr Injector. Just had him service the injectors on my '86 944 Turbo. Filled out the form online, sent them in and he even replaced the rubber seals. If I had known that, I wouldn't have bought a set of seals myself. Quick turn time too, even though I sent them during the holidays. Highly recommend.

Didnt know you can do that with internal spring, I got some that needs cleaning.
Thanks for the information.

So it looks like the pre-bent elbows from Tangerine work a lot better than the ones Mr. Injector supplied with the internal spring. They were too straight and required too much force to put the fuel rail where it's supposed to be. Here's the tangerine elbows installed. Almost done refreshing the engine!

How long can injectors sit after being evaluated and cleaned? I'd like to get some spares sent off to get freshened up, but I'd read it wasn't advised to let them sit. Is there a way to store injectors?

On his website or in on of his videos, he shows that once done he squirts some light oil or something similar in the injectors for preservation.
I sent 16 injectors last week to make two good sets and plan on installing them in a couple of months.
I will definitely coat them with oil and store in a Ziploc bag.
You can ask him by email, he replies pretty quickly.

Gas turns to varnish. That’s why any car shouldn’t sit. As for cleaned and balanced injectors sitting unused, I wouldnt think that would be good either...

Click to view attachmentI would trim the lower injector elbow legs a bit shorter if possible or put the shorter elbow leg on the bottom. Also rotate the upper hose clamps 180° (bolt portion inboard) .... you want to keep anything extending beyond the tin at a minimum, as it will make engine reinstall a bit easier.

he sends them out in individual sealed bags.
We've used injectors years after service and no problem.
but if you are concerned, just wait until you need them.
He's never taken more than 2 weeks to turn around and I've sent him 30-40 at a time.

You got lucky.
As with others Ive sent dozens out to have "refreshed"
What Ive found is the failure rate is 1 in 6 or 7.
Ususally body leaks rendering them done.
