Take the year and models of the various cars that these injectors came off of or will be used on. Go to some internet parts sellers and see if the part numbers of the spray nozzles match (interchange). I believe the spray nozzles are the same for turbo and non-turbo and the turbo injectors can have their opening pressures adjusted by changeing to thinner shims inside of the injector (with a nozzle tester/POP tester). As I said you will need to have these injectors tested on a pop testor anyway to be sure the spray nozzles are good.
When I bought my 84 300D it had what looked like tha origional injectors. At 197,000 miles the metal area of the spray nozzle not covered by the heat shield and around the pintels had been burning away. When I did a pop test on them I found that they were dribbling when I did the 200psi below the opening pressure test. In short while the engine was running (rough at idle though) the injectors' spray nozzles were no good. The used injectors that are so called "running pulls" that you see on Ebay are no indication that the injctors should be reused. Mine could have been called running pulls.
If there is no visable damage; no one can tell you by looking at an injector if it is good or bad; even brand new spray nozzles are sometimes no good (another reason to have them tested).
