You should be able to rebuild your injectors and get plenty of life out of them. All they need is new o-rings and tips. If you want to buy new injectors I suggest buying from your local auto parts store. Buy the ones with the longest warranty (sometimes they offer a lifetime warranty).

The original injectors are very high quality (Bosch). I sent mine out to Scott at the Injector Shop in Idaho. Best communicator I ever dealt with. All told, I spent less than $70.

I sent them in a USPS Priority box. I got an email telling me they arrived ( the day they should have). An email the next day telling me he started cleaning them. Next day I got an email telling me he had to run one through the ultrasonic again to get the flow characteristics he wanted to see. Next day, injectors were on their way back with tracking info. IIRC, 8 days turnaround.

My only criticism is the rail and manifold o-rings could have been higher quality. I nicked two on the reinstall, of course one was under the plenum.

Overall, extremely pleased that I didn't have to take a crap shoot on new.

I'd suggest coating the new o-rings with Vaseline before installing them.
