If you order a new injector it comes with all the seals installed already.
Each injector is $300.
Its not as easy as ordering the injectors. As they have a flow number on them.
All 4 injectors will have the same number, but there are 3 different part numbers which means you could have number 1, 2 or 3 stamped on the injector.
So basically because of the parts delay, you will have to pull the injectors twice if you have a scorched injector. First to inspect and get the number and order the right part and then a second time to replace an injector if it is bad.
Regardless anytime you pull them to inspect you need intake man gasket, throttle body gasket and fuel pipes per service manual to be replaced.

Thank you for the detailed reply!! I have a friend on the forum (I will omit his name out of respect) that had the Vortech kit installed and started having similar issues evolving into misfire above 6k or so. Prior to the Vortech kit his car was running really strong with just over 200 HP on E85 with tune, intake, and header back setup. He has had countless dealership visits and they have determined it to be a DI seal. No blown motor, yet, but the issue isn't fully resolved either.
I feel for the guys having these issues and its the only thing that has me on the fence over FI. I'd love to have the FA20 kit installed already and beating the crap outta the car having at least some faith in the reliability but these issues popping up on NA motors too has me worried to install even a "safe" supercharger kit like the innovate or Vortech. I've been watching as patiently as possible as the early adopters (you) of the early adopters (ft86 community) log some miles on each of these setups and find the weak links. As hard as it is to wait my wallet thanks you for taking the leap first.
