Very interesting, thanks for posting the comparison-interesting to see the difference in peak flow. From what I’ve read, due to the more efficient atomisation with the quad pintle setup, the 045 units increase MPG...presumably hence the lower peak flow rate.
Bosch maintain that the 045s are the official replacement for the now out-of-production 762s and are fully compatible. I was concerned initially about the retaining clip issue, but the end that is seated into the manifold has a different profile to the 762 units, so they fit very securely with zero room for lengthwise play.
Having read up on a couple of Porsche forums (the 045s are also used as a replacement in a Porsche unit, I can’t recall which car), the retaining clips aren’t used with the 045s there too.
As I mentioned, I’ve kept my stock injectors (and the clips!) and will refit them if the black units don’t work out.
