Default Is it ok to only replace 1 defective fuel injector on a CQ versus all 5? Is used ok?

I have number 3 injector causing my car to run a bit rough at idle. I dont notice any issues when driving but on idle is rough. My shop states that I should purchase 5 new injectors at $430 per injector! OUCH. I have anotehr CQ that was totaled about 1 year ago that ran fine before the accident. Would you suggest I grab an injector from that car that has been sitting for about a year or spend the $430 on the new one? Is it wise to replace all 5 together but the cost is over 2K for that.

I would suggest this http://www.034motorsport.com/fuel-in...ved-p-329.html
You can find a used kit for much less or even put the kit together yourself for less. Might want to find new shop while your at it too.

Agree with Yoda. The 034 kit with adapters was great. I spent the extra $50 to get the plug and play harness and feel it is worth it for peace of mind and OEM reliability. You'll be surprised at the transformation of your engine.

So is that kit only around 300 bucks include all 5 injectors? That seems like a no brainer if this is true
