I think they only have ONE that goes up to 300psi.
Anyone have this Harbor Freight one? Cheap but for my infrequent use it might do the trick..

I disconnected that from compressor cover and blew into it by mouth. It seemed to hold pressure just fine.Another issue I had was a leak in the boost line that goes from the turbo to the IP. This was affecting the fueling at higher boost. The leak was hard to find because the hard plastic tube was cracked on the bottom side of the connection at the IP. Something else you might check.
Hans from H&R Fuel injection just got back to me. All four injectors need a rebuild. $122 per injector including parts and fixing my handy work on the return fitting. I guess it beats $1000 for a new set. He said maybe done by end of next week.
That sounds expensive for 200 injectors, but I suppose they are fixing the scoring.
Maybe. I explored some other options and this seems to be most cost effective. Other vendors sell rebuilt for $450 a set. I was told $50 per injector extra to fix the scoring so thats $650. New injectors sell for $997 a set shipped, and figure my cores are worth maybe $150 on the market, so $850. He is also local, so no hassle of shipping back and forth, and easy to diagnose any further issues. He seemed to know his stuff and I feel I am in good hands. His specialty appears to be old European diesels. Lots of FIP's and such all over.
He said the parts were coming from Germany so fingers crossed!If they are using genuine Bosch nozzles, that's a pretty good price. I have a feeling that a lot of the rebuilt injectors available are using Chinese nozzles.

dental hook/pick is what I use.
I have a little pick I got from Mac Tools:
