Apparently not :( Have a search using "M50" "injectors" and "M20". Be sure to click "Search for all Terms" and lots of results come up.

The jist of it is yes they do fit, but it will over fuel like mad so no point in doing it.

Best advice is to get your M20 ones cleaned.

Thats if you use the M50B25 injectors the M50B20 injectors flow about the same as the M20B25 injectors and work a treat and they can be in better condition then worn M20 ones.

just out of interest with the m50b20 injectors, would the fuel rail need to be changed or would the m20 fuel rail be ok.

so does this give better performance? or just an alternative?

It gives you better fuel atomisation with the 4 pintle holes instead of just the one
