Fuel Injector Cleaner

RE: Fuel Injector Cleaner
I dont know if you are technically inclined enough, but on my older S4, i removed the Fuel Injectors and had them cleaned and balanced at RC Engineering, then reinstalled them. INSANELY noticable difference.
Bear in mind, you can buy a $15 bottle of injector cleaner and ....what does it really do? You can pay a shop $120 for fuel injector service, and they do a better job than the additive...or do they?
I had 5 injectors in my I5 20v S4, and it cost me $125 to get balanced and cleaned at RC Engineering (did the R&R labor myself)
You get a complete report and also they refurb your injectors to original factory specs.
I have used the fuel additives in the past, but have always had doubt as to whether or not they were helpful. Never felt like paying a shop to do a $120 injector service because in my mind, they do the same thing as pouring a $15 bottle of injector cleaner.
You can't argue hard data:
And here is a link to the thread that shows my injectors before and after
