Injector housing

Post by greg lousy »

Are turbo injectors just shimmed differently to increase breaking pressure? Same spring? Housing?
Probably replacing nozzles and was gonna replace the back part of the housing (the part with the return barbs) with one from a non turbo. Same, right?
Just want to make sure

Some injectors are taller, I think it's the old ones that are shorter.
If it looks to be the same size you can swap it.
