for tightening injectors you dont really need a torque wrench...
Called VW who said there was some sort of PCV type valve that goes on top of the valve cover, at a cost of 80 bucks.

If you take your valve cover off and look on the inside where that hose comes out you will see a mesh like piece built in there. I beleive you can clean it out (light compressed air and varsol or something similar). The TDs and gassers have the one above the valve cover
My information is free (and not always correct), unless you are calling my 1-900 number

I will NEVER not use a torque wrench again on a injector.NEVER!i've seen andy2 do it flawlessly without... but i guess you need to have a feel for it. the way i see it, it will feel pretty good when the heat shield is being bent in, and then you'll feel it tighten up. maybe you guys just don't know your own strength? :lol: another key to this, is that anti seize was used. so a lot more torque was being applied to the actual tightening, and not overcoming the friction... so it was easier to feel the actual torque.BUT i always like doing things by the book too... it would be a shame to ruin a boss just by 'cutting corners'...
