Do I need new injectors?

I was changing out the injector gaskets and changing the pulsation damper....because all the gaskets are trashed....probably contributing to my boost leak problem as well. I pulled the injectors out and found that one cap is cracked.....and one doesn't even have a cap on it. These were a complete bitch to take out as well....all 4 were hell. They were stuck in there. Also....the gaskets between the rail/block were toast.....completely dried up and such.


Should I just order new pintel caps or just purchase all new injectors. The person I bought the car from has a receipt showing the injectors were flow tested and all that like 1-2 years ago....but I highly doubt these injectors were removed and flow tested....cause these gaskets all look like hell.

What do you think? new injectors....or just new pintel caps? Not sure how long injectors hold up.

It looks like more than just the pintle caps are damaged. I would be looking at a different set.

replace the injectors and rails. there are a ton of low mile stock injectors and rail setups running around for cheap in the for sale section.

do you have a power FC?
it might be cheaper to buy an aftermaket fuel system than OEM injectors
