If the spray pattern is good and there is no dripping between pops, then why replace the nozzles? Maybe could get by with resetting the pop pressure?

Bad spray pattern and/or dripping between pop events need at least cleaning and maybe simple refurbishing, as in the links above.

If that still can't get it, then new nozzles should help. More important than the specs or sexiness of certain styles is the build quality, which has varied greatly in recent years. Genuine Bosch subbed out to India or China machine shops, where the machining equipment is not kept in such good repair and the fine finish tolerances required for the nozzles are impossible to achieve.

LAST I HEARD (several years ago) was that the Monark nozzles were made in Germany, good quality then, I have no idea where they are manufactured now, or their quality.

If it were me, I would check the classic VW and Mercedes forums (use similar injectors), where since there is a much larger active population there they likely have a better idea on the current quality of various nozzles.

IIRC, the stock nozzles have more than enough capacity to flow enough fuel for these engines.
