Default Would you use this injector? pic included 1000cc bosch

well, i bought a set of the bosch 1000cc injectors from a company going un named at this point. recieved them and the pintle was all scratched up on 2 of the 6 injectors. mind you, i didnt even look at the other 4. and on one of them a ring inside the ijector was all messed up. i was told by the company who sold them to me, they are in 100% working order. maybe, but im not spending 500 on injectors for them to look like this judge for yourself.

thanks to Tony at T1. I ordered a set of the bosch 1000cc injectors through him today. Not gonna even try dealing with that other company.

I'll bet the other 4 are fine, you just messed up running a 6-cylinder.

It sucks the company isn't playing nice, but afaik the ball-style injector only needs the seat and ball material that sits on the seat to be perfect. The ball is fixed on the plunger (shaft), all it may do is spin like a valve would. Looking on the bright side, this is the perfect website to sell four working Bosch injectors...

yes, that is what was said. no, dont have a picture of it without the adapter. im not even going to attempt to take them off either as the company i bought them from will probably say i did it if there is anything that looks like tampering. oh well, theres a wonderfull thing called credit card stop payment.

maybe thats the tooling marks from the custom enhanced injector flow porting mod companyX performed...

edit: better safe than sorry... I would have done the same as you getting from someone else and returning these. even if it is for piece of mind honestly.

Is your hood all rusty or do you have plaid seats?

BTW I would totally do a 16v with an ABA block, if the Japanese never started making cars.

if its on a credit card and not a debit card then call you credit grantor and despute the charges, tell them you paid for new parts and they sent you what looks to be used and or damaged goods and they wont refund you or give you a new product and you dont want to pay for them.

Just make sure you are getting Injector Dynamics injectors and you have nothing to worry about. I'd rather not say who that one was from, but I can assure you that any dealer you go through for ID injectors will take care of you and you will get good quality injectors that are matched better than any other brand in the industry.
