no, not advisable to use greens, most people upgrade to blues, the oranges are fine for remaps so changing them wont make any difference unless you want more power

look up duty cycle in the site search. You don't want to reach a condition where the injectors are running all the time (100% duty cycle), because that can lead to a lean condition (insufficient fuel) for the pressure/heat you are running. This is unlikely to happen with a standard map. More you push the more likely you can approach excessive duty cycle levels.

In themselves bigger injectors allow you to deliver higher flow rates - but this will only work with the right mapping.

Refurbishing old injectors is no bad thing (or just replacing them). Particularly with older cars it is not certain that all injectors work equally.

i have seen a generic remap running the injectors at 92% so is a good idea to keep an eye on them

blues and whites both flow the same at 3 bar , the blues flow more with the higher fuel pressure
