 I've not serviced both types, but I can tell you that the TDI injectors are
set up with a two-stage injection. Because of this, they really should be
set up with a machine that can check for it - and I believe they are in very
short supply.

 Best bet, IMO, would be to get a set of nozzles from Kerma (
http://www.kermatdi.com/ ) and have him send them to Greg (
http://www.lubricationspecialistllc.com/index.php ) along with your
injectors for setup.

 If you want to change them yourself and assume the break pressure and pilot
injection will be OK, Kerma has a how-to on his page.

 Even a real DIY guy like me would send my injectors to be set up. YMMV.
