I personally have inspected my injectors Fter 8-12k of e85 use and they looked fairly clean. I rarely got below e50. I'll be pulling my injectors again in the next month or two as we'll and inspecting after another 5-6k of use. As others have mentioned running gasoline ocassionally may be a solution. However at this time I haven't seen any issues.

Also in the topic of Ecu flashing yes it can wear out. I haven't heard any reports of anyone having theirs failed yet. A number of people guessed possibly 1000-1500 flashes may be the life cycle. Personally I have roughly 600+ flashes on mine and I have had an odd issue where the Ecu randomly doesn't seem to operate but this may be rom based or another issue and nothing to do with my Ecu. Typically when the Ecu fails you can't flash it and if I reflash mine it works just fine.
