Not trying to be difficult but throwing parts at these cars is a very very expensive idea. Burning smell...when did you pull the injector...i.e. how soon after you shut the car off...might just be residual combustion reaction.
I'll post pics of the turbo soon. I have yet to open it up.

I'm waiting on some new injectors, and I also have a valve cover gasket so valve adjust is pending... As far as I know, it's been a LONG time since these things have been maintained...

I pulled the injector 1+ days after it was run.... hopefully not a bad sign.

Thanks for all the help so far guys
