Default Injector cleaning/testing.

Have purchased an upgraded injector for my coupe 20V, replacing the standard injectors with Bosch ones. The Bosch injectors are 2nd hand and I'm thinking of getting them cleaned in an ultrasonic bath before fitting. I know there's a company nearby that does this but not sure what costs are involved.
Or....... I could soak them in some carb cleaner for a few hours, fit them and then put a bottle of fuel system treatment type stuff in the tank.

Any advice on the above

Thanks in advance,
John.

There's a guy who does a mail order service, you send them
To him, he cleans them and test there spray pattern, does a report
On his findings.....sends them back to you with test result report.
Can even send you a video link of your injecters being cleaned.

Il try and find his details for you tomorow.

Sounds like Ken Mills at KMI Petrol Injection Engineers. He's now retired, but his firm continues - although relocated from Fulham to Letchworth (?).

Thinking about £10-£12 per injector. If I don't do this and just fit them I'll always be wondering if it should run better.
