That's the pintle cap. It'll be ok if it doesn't look like it's gonna fall off. If it is, then you can just take it off too, but it won't affect the spray. It's just to protect the pintle inside.

I think when you send injectors to get cleaned, they usually replace all the o-rings, seals, grommets, and they also replace the pintle caps.

i don't think it's a good idea to leave it that way. with fuel pressure or an increase in fuel pressure, eventually, it'll crack all the way. and you'll run into the danger of not only leaning out, but, having your car catch on fire

Im mostly concerned about the pieces of crap falling into my cylinders and holding a valve open or crunching in my turbo

yes its starting to fall off, so I can just remove or replace it, correct?
