Loaded question... most shops that service Porsches should be able to this, and they should have the proper equipment.
You can also remove your injectors and have them re-built...
Are you trying to solve a problem or is it just something you want to do?

Assuming you intend on taking them out and having them cleaned and checked.

Fuel injector are not rebuildable. They can be cleaned but not rebuilt. Since they can't be taken apart, there is no way to rebuild them. They have moving components, so after the so called" rebuild, it will be just as worn but it won't be clogged. The only parts they can replace are the O-rings, pintle cap, the screen and these are all external components. Don't be fooled that your newely rebuilt injectors are as good as new. They will still have just as many miles as they did before and sooner of later, they will fail.

If they are any variation of the Bosch style injectors, they are available brand new for around $200.
Balancing means all the injectors will flow the same rate but since they are non adjustable, they take other injectors from a different batches and match them untill they are all the same. So, unless your injectors flow he same rate, you will end up with ones that came from other cars. I'm as cheap as they come but even I wouldn't drop $200 on a cleaning.

Ditto all of the above re: rebuilding - they can only be cleaned and flow checked.
I had mine serviced during an engine rebuild because I wanted to make sure there wasn't a significant flow difference, and that they were shutting off completely when de-energized.
