Default FlowForce altenatives in Europe?

I have a stock 2003 1.8 and I am planning to get a MS3, AEM UEGO and EV14 injectors before this summer and finishing the build next summer. Aiming for 250 whp.

As far as EV14 injectors go, everything on this forum suggest that if you're on a budget, you should look at FlowForce. No luck on finding any in Europe, however, and I would prefer not to order from US due to all the tax. I've seen very mixed opinions on Bosch. Any decent alternatives in the price range of FF?

Bofi Racing in the uk carries flowforce, but I'm not sure if that is still an option for you post-brexit

Same ****, taxes and import fees.
SPS-Motorsport has some good 700cc injectors, PNP, run very nice, no adaptors, drop in and go for 245€ on sale!!

Can you get ID1050x there? They are only a little more $ than FF (where I am) but they are worth the money.

Bofi also ships from an EU-based location (NL I think?). Worth contacting them.

Do I understand correctly that the main things I would be sacrificing with these are overall quality and forum support?

Mine are 3 years old and no problems since.
Idle great at 14.7 afr and sps motorsport is very customer friendly and provide a datasheet iirc.

Forum support maybe...

I cannot think of what Forum Support you would need if SPS gives the data. The thing FF offers is matched flow at low PW. Maybe check to see if SPS does that. I looked at their site, but ich spreche kein Deutsch.

Definitely worth contacting BOFI if you want flow force. They do have a program shipping to the EU which reduces taxes.

I looked into it and from BOFI it would be €475 (or $515) for the 640 cc kit without the fuel pump. On the FlowForce website they're $329.

I have a friend who is moving back from the US to where I live in a month, so I'll try to get him to take the kit here with the rest of his stuff. If that does not end up working out, I'll probably get the SPS mentioned above.
