Higher voltage equals more current, which will possibly damage wiring, connectors, and the solenoids in the injectors prematurely, who knows?

Now I'm curious, when I get time I may contact BPD and see how it works. There are 2 jumper wires, cut one 53V, cut the other 58V (I think). It could very well be that there is a voltage regulator circuit in there. I bought it to save the injectors by keeping good voltage, not to tax the injectors. It will be interesting in a few years how the 58V setups are holding up. Everyone seems good now but they appear to have been running the 58V for only a year or so. I would like to find out how these 6 phase BPD FICMs work exactly. Anyone know chime in. As I said, maybe I'll contact BPD and find out. I get mine in Friday, I'll post the cold start difference and any other improvements I may notice.
