(new) 60lb Injectors...from ebay, bad idea?

Looks like I'll be good with either EV1 or an EV6+adapters, but I'm wondering if I'm setting myself up for a catastrophic explosive disappointment if I cheap out with some ebay (noname?) 60lb injectors instead of the "Siemens Deka" brand that seems to get high praise from the experts here.

Example
>> $219 http://www.ebay.com/itm/331418761796?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

These high impedance fuel injectors are not made by the original equipment manufacturers(OEM)(BOSCH & VDO etc.) They have been 100% tested and exactly match the internal coil resistance and fuel flow rate of OEM fuel injectors.The individual flow characteristics and fuel atomization of above fuel injectors are almost same to or superior to the OEM and will help accelerate response time , save gasoline and improve MPG.

There was just a recent thread by budxr7, and dalke and a few others suggested to never get off brand because of high failure rates.
 
from my experiance..i found i had best luck with injectors that have a 4 hole nozzle. ive watched a few online videos and they seem to "atomize" the fuel better..id wouldnt get those ebay injectors just for that alone..BUUUT if they offer you a warranty and you can test them and are able to propperly moniter things like fuel pressure and afr then i would maby give them a try..im alwys trying to find budget build ideas for our sc's..lol 3in black vc pipe made a better intake than you can buy anywhere...
 
Ah thank you, I found the thread over in non-technical and the general consensus is - with these no name injectors, dont waste your time.

I specifically searched again for the Genuine Seimens Deka 60lb (#107961) and realized if 6 can be had for about $260 (again on ebay), then it's not worth the tuning headaches or possibly grenading an engine only to save $50.

Thanks for the push in the right direction!
