Which reminds me - I got a set of injectors with my parts NA engine. They are 
130bar bodies, but stamped on of the upper halves is 165 - does this mean they 
have been rebuilt to TD specs perhaps? I haven't cracked them open to see what 
nozzles they have. btw, I am running new NA nozzles in my TD injectors, but it's too 
soon to tell how they perform of course.
