Injector nozzles for WVO

I'm about to send my injectors off to get checked. If more than a few need new nozles, I'd like to go with some more suitable for WVO.
Any recommendations on nozzle part # size etc for an '86 turbo ( actually an '86 Volvo 2.4... but ...same thing basically)
Also pop pressure recommendation.
Thanks--------Robert

To my knowledge, you don't need any special "nozzles" to run WVO in your volkswagen.

I remember the Elsbett kits come with a different set of nozzles. I'm not going with a kit, But the setup I have is closest to the Elsbett setup

i think that some guys go with a little bit higher breaking pressure to spay a finer mist of veg oil, but i cannot clarify this
if you find out let me know

I think I can mention the product I found here. I haven't bought this, just happened to have it open in my browser at the same time as reading this thread.
These guys have a specific WVO/SVO injector:

They mention higher opening pressure. Costs a few bucks -- about 5 times as much as the rebuild injectors sold on this site. It might be interesting if it really improves WVO operation, though.

IF you are on a one tank wvo setup then injectors might be of help, but in a two tank situation with the correct heat applied the regular injectors will be fine. That does not mean you should not have them checked to make sure they are working to spec, but don't think you need to spend mega money on WVO injectors or veggy injectors. These are probably just performance injectors, and any new injector on a car with 200,000+ km's will benfit from this.
