I just had a set of used injectors serviced and they did a great job. I was surprised at how much better it ran. But I had one injector leaking around the body. It wouldnt leak at 43 psi but when on boost and the pressure rises, it would leak.
I removed the injector and bench tested...sure enough at around 55 psi, it would leak.
I suggested to the man who serviced them that he should pressure test at around 60 psi for turbo applications just to be sure.
It might be something you would want to suggest to anyone servicing injectors.

Where did you service yours? i did mine at the Bosch Service Centre, it was cheap (~$50) for cleaning, testing and resealed as well.

Funny you should post this, I was thinking of doing the same thing today. My stock ones just got back from flow testing and cleaning. One of them had a body leak and will need replacement. The guy said he sees it occasionally and suspects its from the heat they endure. I'll keep watch on the three old ones until they get upgraded. If your car is hibernating now would be a great time to get this done.

Check some of the old posts. The injectors need to be electronically pulsed while being flushed to clean them properly. Someone had a write-up about making your own test/clean rig but for me it was easier just to send them out. There is also a small mesh basket filter that sits in the top of the injector that needs replacing along with the seals.
