Wouldn't that be the same or better than going out and buying rebuilt injectors?
BTW - he said he had never heard of Bosio, but that his nozzles did come from Italy - thought they were better than the ones they were getting prior.
It is a reputable shop.

There are a few options available to people having injector issues. Some of these options work for some people, fail for others and often have different results. Is this due soley to the option chosen?...or is it due to other underlying issues? I don't think anyone knows for sure really.
So...
*You can just simply replace your injectors with new/rebuilt units out of the box.
*You can have your new/rebuilt units tested/balanced by a shop prior to install
*You can have your originals tested, rebuilt and balanced by a shop
*You can do the whole rebuilding yourself
*You can simply do a partial rebuild, i.e. just replacing nozzles
*In some cases you can simply purge and fix the originals
*Or you can just remove thoroughly clean and reassemble the originals and see if this help, especially when coked up.
In essence your decision criteria will likely be based on cost, access to services, you knowledge and comfort level in doing this.
If you are getting a quote from a shop you trust at $45 each that's a good deal, same cost as rebuilt units, although guaranteed to have been balanced.
Up to you. For me, the nozzle approach was $28 each and I figured balancing was not needed as my idle and running quality was good to start with.
