Message	If you can't afford fixing it right, at least get the internals done. Leave stock injectors in it until you can afford Nismo. Once you can afford it, then upgrade the injectors and the ECU. Take it a step at a time, if you buy crap, expect crap performance, failures, and more time and money wasted chasing issues caused by cheap garbage parts. Injectors can be swapped out in a weekend so think it through -- it's just not worth the aggravation. Save yourself. For now do the things that would require you to pull the motor again. A quality set of turbos if it needs it (MS manifolds while you have it apart if you wish), the engine internals, the engine harness, motor mounts. Save the injectors for a weekend job when you can afford the right ones. Protect your investment, get an SZ tune (at least a chip) to drop in your ECU and keep the boost "safe" with a quality boost controller. Upgrade part by quality part for a quality car, you will not be disappointed.
