I just use the pug filter, doesn't cost much more that the copy parts.

I've forgot the name of some good injector stuff, but i know its meant to be trade only so hard to get (i got some from the pug dealers). Made bit of difference, especially when i put a small amount in the filter housing when i change the filter.

One tip would be not to put Tesco's diesel in it.

It burns like Russian coal!

That and an extened overrev in third usually blows the cobwebs out.
