Ordered some E30 M20 specific ones from a known BMW injector seller. Lets see if round 2 goes better.

Quick update.
Returned the injectors that didnt seem to work and bought a similar set from Bimmer Baron. Car fired right up after installing the new injectors on both the stock and tuned ECU. According to @jcw0101 there is a noticeable difference in power delivery and I cant wait to take it for a spin this weekend.
Thanks for everyone who helped troubleshoot and provided advice. @B C, @straight6pwr, @jcw0101

Finally had a chance to drive and take care of some minor maintenance items.
Tune: Wow, its freaking amazing. I wish I had done this 2.5 years ago when I bought the car. The tune/injector combination provide increased power throughout the rev range but especially below 4K. Its better everywhere without adding any harshness or reducing daily drivability. (cant say the same for the M5 tune)
Battery replaced: Finally I dont have to jump the car every time!
Coolant Reservoir: 32 years is old enough for that plastic.

What was the tune/injector combo you went with on this?
*Saw the BimmerBaron eBay link for the injectors, was any modification needed to fit those injectors?
What was the chip you ended up going with? Still this one you had linked previously?
I'd like to something of this nature that is relatively cost effective and easy to install for some better throttle response and feel.

Injectors: https://www.ebay.com/str/bimmerbaron - 19lb for M20.
Tune: http://www3.sympatico.ca/mdsylva/products.htm . I would contact BimmerBaron regarding the tune since he sells or can direct you to a low cost tune. I dont know which tune it copies though.
Installation: Dont need any other parts assuming you already have the 173 ECU which I believe is a requirement for the tune. I didn't do the actual install but @jcw0101 essentially used this method: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKpRvIwXzT8. Pulled the valve covers instead of the intake off. Overall its pretty simple assuming you have the right parts.
