Easiest way to check which injectors you have?
Hey guys i was wondering what is the easiest way to check what injectors you have in the car?
i know that the tans are 320cc and blue tops are 380's
reason why i am asking, this car was previously modded when i purchased at a dealer, and it has a pulley on it, which i dont even know what it is haha

Without taking the intercooler off, you should be able to shine a light behind the SC horn and underneath the intercooler on the passenger side and get a little glimpse of the top of one of the injectors if you look on the right angle. Other than that, you'll have to take the intercooler off, which isn't that difficult but it can sometimes be a huge pain having to wrestle with the intercooler boots to reinstall them.
Even looking is not 100% accurate.....
M7 and a few others sell redrilled OEMS that are 420's or more recently 440's....( they charge about the same as for a new injector AND have a $100 core fee PER INJECTOR...and most injectors are rumored to usually fail the core inspection...resulting in another $200-300 bill)...so you pay more than the cost of new for an ok redrill....I just don't get it....

If you have stock intercooler boots its easy to just remove intercooler and look at the injector body... light tan is 340 blue is 380. The alta aftermarket boots are a real pain in the **** to remove and reinstall so if those are on the intercooler you might want to do like the previous poster said about flashlight and looking thru passenger side.
