Yes, you will need a chip to suit the siemens, and all for no advantage, but it's your money.

you will def need a new chip; greys are good for 450hp ish, you sure they are going to get maxed out?

like tabs said, dont change unless you have too

edit: the siemens are all the same price 55's, 72's & 83's!

for a t4 you will probably max out the 55's so you may as well go for the 83's

greys are 501cc, 72's are 750cc.

so if the greys are "ok" surely the 72's will be fine?

yeah they will be; but what if you want a bigger turbo in the future? you might have to change the injectors again, so getting the 83's will future proof yourself so to speak

if i change turbo etc, i would then totally change engine spec/chip.
i jus want to wind boost up a bit more and not melt it, so the plan was to put in the 72's to be safe.

if the car will not run with them injectors, then i will scrap that idea.Keep car as is
and next year change chip,injectors etc

I would have thought that greys would be ok at just over 2 bar as i was running 2 bar with only light blues in never missed a beat.

Might be wrong but im sure someone will point it out if i am.
