I know that a lot of you guys buy injectors used, mainly because its a lot cheaper.
Just to make a suggestion, always have your injectors serviced before putting them in your car.
Orings can rip or tear on installation or removal which can cause bad sealing or fuel leaks.
Pintle caps (small plastic cap on some injectors that creates a seat for the lower oring to seal, or produces a particular spray pattern) can get brittle and break.
Top Feed fuel injectors have small filters at the fuel entrance. These filter can disolve, rip, tear or just be really dirty causing problems with the performance of the injector
Coil Testing is also important. Coils can go bad just sitting on a shelf, and then the injector is not fixable. Making sure the injector is creating the right voltage and ohms is very important.
Make sure wherever you have your injectors serviced (Preferably Deatschwerks but thats not why im posting) can account for all of the above items. Ive been doing the servicing here at Deatschwerks for 2 years and I cant express enough the importance of keeping your fuel system clean, especially for Turbo cars.
Any questions feel free to email me.
