autopartsonlinecanada sells them, but you have to lookup an '84 rabbit D or TD.  weird, but its the same 1.6 turbo diesel.  155 bar breaking pressure and same nozzle, and it fits  :lol:  (all you really care about)

I am pretty sure you can use your current injectors.  Have them rebuilt.  Use new nozzles and have them pop tested to the correct TD pressure.  Should be cheaper than brand new injectors.

i have no idea where i could get them rebuilt, and i'd rather not ship them across the country or anything...

how much of a price difference are we talking about here between a set of new bigger injectors, or having mine rebuilt with different nozzles?

I supplied the nozzles, the shop charged me $20 per injector to rebuild and pop test.
