Alberta Luthier, what shop did you use for injector testing?
I just had my injectors tested at GCL Fuel Systems in Calgary, which is a Bosch authorized shop. They quoted $55 to test four of them (and the quote didn't mention the additional $11 in shop supplies and surcharges that showed up on the final bill). However, they did tell me that they all tested OK and had a good spray pattern and pressure, so I appreciate their honesty. The place was really clean and the staff was friendly.
If rebuilding or cleaning was done, they said it would be about 1/2 hour ($55) per injector to disassemble, lap, seal, and balance if necessary. Fortunately I didn't need to do have this done.
Injector heat shields ($0.96 online) were $6.99 each there. I try hard to support local businesses but I can't when the price difference is that big.
