What happened to your current injectors? Might be better off just sending them to a shop for a clean etc.
Bosch OEM are unfortunately big $$ for injectors.

My shop is looking for one or two actually. A 6XX mile 3TT showed up after being in storage for over a decade. Two injectors were stuck. Managed to free one but think the other one need more work. Trying to help find options.

IMHO I would just bite the bullet and buy a new OEM injector. Unless you have someone local that can test them. I replaced mine about 6 years ago with some aftermarkets from fiveomotorsports.com.
They were about $88 each and I have no regrets. Pros: brand new Cons: not factory. I had thought about having the OEMs "Rebuilt/Refurbished" at $27 per injector but all they do is clean, replace the pintles,
o-rings, and test. If they don't meet the criteria they'll need to be replaced. If your customer plans on selling it, for sure it will be at an astronmical price, get the new OEM.

Shop is not mine. It is where I send my cars. Wish I am more mechanically talented. These injectors don't fail often so was asked to explore options.

I understand. If the car were mine I would do what "Knight" had suggested, you should have all the injectors refurbished and tested as a precautionary measure.
You wouldn't want to take the risk of having any of them to stick open which will destroy the catalytics. Which happened to mine.

There is an injector flow tester at the shop. Problem is that there is not an injector refurbish place that is trust worthy. Most recent folks who have sent injectors for refurb came back with mix results.

My mechanic used R.C. Engineering in Torrance, Ca. (310)320-2277 to go through my injectors when he was doing my build. https://www.rcfuelinjection.com/
