I just bought some inexpensive Ultra-Power fuel injectors from Rock Auto, thinking that, because they were close-outs, they'd be Bosch in a different box, as the injectors are for an old Saab, and who would be making aftermarket injectors for a car that was last built over 20 years ago, in small numbers.
The injectors are not Bosch. The box doesn't say where they're made and they don't have the raised numbers that a Bosch injector has.
Do you have any experience with Ultra-Power? I'm leery of installing what I'm guessing are Chinese-made knock-offs??

Do you know how many different cars have used variants of the exact same Bosch injectors over the last 40 years? The answer is a LOT. Those injectors are probably plug and play in at least three dozen vehicles, which is why the Chinese slave labor factories are still cranking them out.
You might as well give them a shot, but my experience is that it's generally better to just have your OE ones rebuilt and flow-tested than it is to try new cheap ones. (some exceptions like the awful Z32 300ZX injectors notwithstanding)
The ultrapower injector I got from rockauto was a motorcraft unit in a white box with an ultrapower sticker on it.
I doubt there is any rhyme or reason to what is packaged under that name. Just whatever they got cheap from whatever clearing house. Other peoples experiences would just not correlate.
