Injector pumps don't usually just break. What's broken about it?

You can buy rebuilt units, or you can buy a used one and take your
chances. Since it's probably for your SDL, odds are good of you finding
a good used one from a car that cracked its head and wasn't worth repairing.
If there's a Bosch shop and yours isn't completely broken (say, by setting
the timing with the lock thing and breaking the piece inside the IP), the
Bosch shop might be able to repair yours. Or, you can get one shipped in
from Finland, and while you're waiting for it, bolt an intercooler on, and
some gauges...

Start adding zeros, unless you score a deal on a used one (which will likely
require adding a bunch as well)

Casey should be able to give an idea, he had to yank the IP on his 300TD.
