Maybe you should show this thread to the dealer and see if they're sympathetic and give you a break on parts. They really should with all the money and grief you suffered with a bad new injector you paid good money for.
The only way to tell if an injector is functioning properly is to pop test and observe pattern, opening pressure, leaker or not. If you have a fuel injection shop nearby, maybe worthwhile doing that with the new set. Ask them if you can watch. Good learning experience.

The dealer already gives me a pretty nice break on parts, plus they have been very helpful over the years ... I kept them up on the saga as I came in to buy various parts, and they've been sympathetic (if not a bit puzzled ... like me). I know they'll make sure the warranty is in order.
I do like the idea of getting them pop-tested anyway. Someone just recently told me of a nearby injector shop that is supposedly good, so when the new ones come, probably worth it to have them checked. I wouldn't have thought that the first time around, but this is a lesson in the fact that even brand new (or reman) parts can be defective (I should have known that anyway). Hopefully I'll like the shop because location-wise it could come in super handy in the future.
