Dear All,
I recently became the proud owner of a R5 GT Turbo fitted with a B18FT engine, which was fitted back in 2007. As you can imagine the engine has been modified over the years and currently has large intercooler, hybrid turbo, but still runs on standard grey injectors.
I have read on another post the Bosch 0280150804 (green) injectors are a direct replacement.
Does anyone have a list of other injectors that are a direct replacement?
Thanks,
Howard
Great forum by the way, I was told about it by a guy at Adrian Flux insurance. I love the fact that the forum has been around for so long as all information is appreciated.

Re: B18FT - Injector upgrades
Hi Howard,
Nice to hear from you.
You have come to the right place I think, however; I must warn you to be prepared to take flak, as many 480 turbos have died in the name of R5 Turbos, as such, the reception may have a degree of animosity.
I personally have nothing against you, as you said the car was fitted with the engine in 2007 when it was very common to do and you did not do the conversion yourself, but my view may not be shared by others.
I wish you the very best in your search for answers, but I haven't actually owned a B18FT, so my input will be limited at best
In spite of all I have said, I think this is the kindest place I know of on the web, and I am sure we can help you out, just hope these engine conversions eventually become a thing of the past
Best wishes
