    I definitely PMed him to see if he has any extras for sale. Don't necessarily have the time to take the existing out and have them re built.

    Dont worry about overkill when it concerns flammable stuff, be careful and have a fire extinguisher on standby when you work on it.
    Sounds good and great advice. Do you recommend a certain injector? I saw them on ECS and they're like $120 a piece.

    I've also seen the Bosch for all six for significantly cheaper.

    Found the fuel rail for $54 which isn't bad.

    Fuel leak engine bay

    I've been experiencing a fuel leak coming from the engine bay area and noticed a leak right behind the drivers side door under the car.

    It was leaking before by the FPR and it was a hose that had failed where the clamp was because it was too tight. Cut off about an inch of the hose and reclamped it. Problem was fixed for a while.

    Now I've got another leak, doesn't appear to be by the hose that I cut and reinstalled. Kind of hard to tell exactly where it's coming from, but it's definitely leaking.

    I was thinking about replacing the fuel rail, injectors, hoses and fuel filter to see if this would fix the leak. Maybe overkill but definitely doesn't hurt (needs to be done anyway).

    Is it required to pull the manifold to remove the fuel rail? Any tips? Or DIY's?

    Any help would be appreciated!
