Default WTB 1 944 Turbo/951 Fuel Injector (Stock)--Got one broken!

Hi all!

Well, I have all the parts back on the car except the hood and got ready to start everything up, got the fuel system pressurized and found one bad O-ring which is fixed and another leak on my number 3 injector. Replaced the upper O-ring and made sure it was very clean inside the rail but the leak has persisted.

In looking at it after energizing the fuel pump, the O-ring and the very top of the injector is dry. The green piece where it spreads to attach to the metal portion of the injector and from there down is wet. Very wet. It leaks a lot, so I'm figuring the injector head/body connection is broken, although there is a small metal piece in the top green section by where the part number is that maybe could leak?

Either way, O-rings don't seem to fix it since it's not there and it's frustrating as I just got them back all clean and shiny and flow tested from WitchHunter Central and had great turnaround time.

Does anyone have one injector that's good laying around they'd be willing to part with and get out quickly to me?

Thanks!

Okay, hopefully the image is attached, showing in red the area that gets wet when the system is pressurized, this is a picture of the disassembly before they went out to WitchHunter.

I have a set of four that were cleaned and balanced by Witchunter that I'll let go cheap.

don't have the Turbo car anymore.

Thanks BW! Got it in and installed and no more leaking!

Appreciate the thought f1rocks, but alas, I just had the others done at WitchHunter and really only wanted to get one and keep the cost to a minimum, I'm hoping if this extra job comes through with my side business to get an M-Tune in the not too distant future and that replaces all of them with higher flow.
