Un-Capping Injectors like the LS guys do?

Is it possible to Un-cap the TPI fuel injector like the LS guys do? (ie Sloppy Mechanics - Youtube)
I've got extras kicking around and was curious because I'm in the process of going turbo...

Re: Un-Capping Injectors like the LS guys do?

It’s generally bad practice but if done correctly would be fine.
The problem is the variation in flow rate between the injectors and spray pattern which in batch fire isn’t really an issue either.

I am doing a mild turbo and went with L67 injectors. They were a whopping $100. 33-36# depending on who you ask.

But I’d also tell you that this is the last place you should skimp on a turbo car.
