terrible and i think rennux has a set laying around
Follow up...
Got a used set of TRD injectors from a fellow forum member. Got them dropped off with engine builder. Hopefully he will get them installed this week and we will be in the short rows to getting my truck back.
Also my insurance balked at paying for the damage since it was more than 60 days from "date of damage". I am having my attorney fight this with them. Hard to file a claim when you don't know the damage is claimable. Also attorney has drafted letter of intent against the service station demanding they pay. If they do not I will be forced to take them to court. I hate "suing" someone... but right is right and they sold a product that was not as claimed and it caused damage to my vehicle.
All I know is I am just ready to get truck back. I have a TT 05 GTO that has become my daily driver. But living in the country down a 1/4 mile gravel driveway makes you miss a truck most days.

Well.... I finally got the truck back tonight at 8pm. Drove it home and noticed it was running leaner than it should at normal cruise (16:1) but correct at idle and under load. Guess the replacement TRD injectors flowed a little less than the old set? So I really want to drive it tomorrow. So I guess I will get up and drive and tune at 6am to get it dialed back in. Ah... the joys of not having normal N/A stuff!!!

Well all seems to be good so far. Will pass 1000 miles on rebuild this week and get the oil changed / check the filter for shavings / etc. Lean spot just below boost seems to be the wideband acting up at that spot instead of an actual lean spot. Got a replacement wideband in and will get it installed this week.
Still getting the tune dialed in 100%... its safe now but too rich at spots where I need to get it fixed. Built the "internet PVC Tacoma laptop stand" for my truck/cupholder to help with tuning/data logging. All in all it seems to be going well. Hopefully can get it 100% done and then find time to dyno it with and without the nitrous-thru-blower and post up some results. I can tell its a little weaker on the bottom end since we dropped compression a half-point with the forged pistons.... Need to figure out if I'm going to add some timing back to make up for it or just leave it alone for safety and not have to retard timing with nitrous....
