I can’t comment on those particular injectors, but only the OEM has 2 nozzles, and all the aftermarket are 4, and usually made in China. You can get the same “unknown brand” set from Walmart at half the price, if that gives you an idea. I’ve never heard anything good about them, always bad. Better off picking up a used OEM set and have them cleaned and tested.
I was talking with Adrian the tuner guy last week about tuning my car and I had to convince him my OG JCW injectors weren’t knock offs because he said real had 4 nozzle and fake had 2. I think there may be either a change along the way or just confusion. I’m new back in the mini game. I saw the pics on waymotorworks and others show 2 nozzle as well. Here are my for sure real and rusty JCW injectors. (I bought an eBay injector cleaner and flow tester for like $90 just since they’re old and I can show diff between these and R53 injectors when I pull them)
I can also confirm with you -The genuine Seimens/JCW 380cc injectors have 2 nozzles. Not 4.
There is a website where you can get an injector refresh kit for the 340cc & 380cc - It comes with new screens and O-rings. If I recall; the website is called "mr.injector"(?)...
or something like that (sorry, I don't have my bookmarks on hand). The kit is not listed but you'll have to email them.
They’ve got pretty bad reviews overall, which are generally poor, with many users reporting them as unreliable, inconsistent, and potentially "cheap Chinese knockoffs" causing misfires, poor fuel trims, and severe, sometimes unfixable, running issues. While some users report success, most recommend avoiding them.

Thats interesting because recently I was in contact with ADRIAN, here on NAM, and I was asking him for a set of good 380cc injectors and he sent me a link to bosche 380cc with 4 nozzles. Does that mean those injectors are also made in china? It was by bosche. I purchased them from fcp euro.

Bosche ones are good to use assuming real and I trust the aftermarket injectors Adrian suggests, this is just for OEM JCW 380cc injectors, which I see are kinda crazy money now.
I've been running eBay aftermarket 380cc injectors on my MC40 for four years (tuned by Adrian) with no issues. They were flow-tested at a full 380cc. Here's a link to a company that can both clean and flow-test your injectors for $12.50 each: https://highperformanceinjectors.com...rvice-business
No adapters needed for those Audi TT injectors. Only issue is the original injector to fuel rail locking clips don't match perfectly, but they seemed close enough that I didn't search for a better solution. I did change the o-rings to genuine MINI as I heard there could be a slight difference, but that was probably not really necessary.
