Has anybody who’s had an injector fail found that any of the others failed soon after?
I have a bad one and I’m debating whether or not to just replace all of them at the same time.

I had one get stuck open after getting a carbon cleaning. I'm not sure if the cleaning caused it or not. It drove fine after they replaced the intake and did the cleaning, but when I went to go pick it up they said an injector was stuck open and they needed the car overnight to fix it. I never had a problem with any of the others.

Doing them all at once would be peace of mind for me. I'd kick myself for not doing them all should another one go soon after. Probably a worthwhile "while you're in there" situation.

Slight cosmetic damage to turbine wheel, shouldn't affect performance.*

Is there a torque spec for the intake manifold nuts and bolts? My Google-Fu has come up short.
Right now my torque spec is "snug, because it's an aluminum head and I don't want to strip anything."

I found a doc and it looks like 3Nm followed by 9Nm.

Geez, I don't think even my tiny torque wrench even goes that low. I'll just stick with a 1/4 ugga dugga followed by a 1/2 ugga dugga.

Yeah no one has a tq wrench that goes that low. Most people just screw em in gudntight. It isn't a big deal if you do over torque them and strip the block as the block has a few more threads beyond that so you can always just put in a longer screw if you fuck it up

I have one that does 5-25Nm. 3Nm is pretty much 0 lol
