If the direct port is being used for suppliementing the lack in capacity of the FSI injectors for high power application, than the installation is quite straight forward. You won't need to trigger the system until mid to high load. Delivery delay is no longer of any concern if you trigger the system slightly earlier.

But if you commencement of the injection id from low to mid load, the delay will affect the smoothness of the delivery because theere isnlt much time between refilling the hoses and spraying. Under this conditions, you must add four checkvalves behind each jet to stop the vacuum from syhoning the fluid out of the hoses.

Here is a link to such as example:
(see a small checkvalve is inserted behind each jet.

For long term trouble free operation, good filtering is essential.
Richard, that is exactly why I want to use direct port to supplement the injectors and their lack of flow. Since there is no flow data for the injectors I will be using (rs4) how can I calculate nozzle size? Also since I am going to use the 1-4 splitter I will only need one filter before the splitter correct of what size micron? TIA!!
